Growth of Hayward substation under Gleason's term
On December 1, 1949 Sheriff N P Jack Gleason took office and inherited seven deputies and four constables at the Hayward substation versus today’s 30 deputies and one woman deputy.

A Maynard substation operates and a San Lorenzo substation offers 24 hour service as well.
