New Police Station Opens

Planning for the new police station began more than 10 years before ground was broken November 16, 2008. The building at 559 N. Cassingham opened December 31 for full police operations.

The new station includes a state of the art shooting range, work-out facility, interview rooms, police cruiser shelter and port for processing evidence, three holding cells and a training room, all spread among three floors.

City officials are seeking special environmentally friendly certification for the new station. Special concrete in the parking lot allows water to drain through the surface, preventing runoff into overwhelmed storm sewers, and recycled tires absorb the crack of gunfire at the firing range.
