Station Conference/Comfort Room

The personnel assigned to Avalon Sheriff’s Station are very empathetic towards victims of domestic violence, whether it be children or adults.  We realize that police stations can be intimidating or at least uncomfortable places for many people in the community to visit.  

As such, we have created a multi-purpose conference room that was designed to provide station visitors with a discreet, safe and comfortable place to speak with Sheriff’s detectives, social workers or other involved parties. The room can be accessed without having to walk past the station jail, the dispatch center or the other formalities of the Sheriff’s Station.  Deputies made arrangements to have soft leather chairs and a couch for everyone’s comfort.  

Children are given the opportunity to play board games, color or watch cartoons on TV and deputies will always make sure our visitors have something to eat and drink while they are here.
