MCAS Miramar has increased base security and enforcement of trespassing of federal property east of the I-805. While there is a small amount of open space between the I-805 and Miramar’s boundary, hikers and bicyclists are known to travel well beyond the boundary and into federal property.
Trespassers in this area present safety and security concerns for MCAS Miramar. While there are fences and signs that mark the federal property boundary, these are often torn down.
There is also a substantial amount of vandalism and damage that is being done to the VA Cemetery. A network of illegal trails has been built in one the phased plans for the VA Cemetery. This has resulted in a considerable amount of environmental damage, with estimates as high as $300,000. There have also been instances of bikers coming out of the canyon and coming close to funeral services that are in progress.
MCAS Miramar will issue citations to individuals found trespassing on federal property.
If you have any questions, please contact the Community Plans and Liaison Office at 858-577-6603.
