Full Notification

If you live in the East County, the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has recommended the placement of Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) Michael Poulsom at 45612 Old Highway 80 in Jacumba Hot Springs. He was convicted in the 1990s of committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. A San Diego Superior Court Judge approved this placement on March 13, 2020.

While this address falls within the jurisdiction of the Boulevard/Jacumba Sheriff's Office, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR SAFE TASK FORCE (SEXUAL ASSAULT FELONY ENFORCEMENT) ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION OF THE PROPOSED SITE. THAT SELECTION PROCESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DSH AND THE SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT.

Due to current coronavirus/COVID-19 health concerns, a community meeting regarding the placement will be held via telephone conference. Comments will be accepted during this meeting on:

March 24, 2020
11:00 a.m.
Via telephone conference at the following numbers:
(877) 369-5243 or (617) 668-3633
Passcode for both is: 0520889##
