NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS

After almost two years of construction the new Police Headquarters right next to the city hall has been built.  The new building which is three stories high is replacing the old facility that was much smaller.  This new building has locker room and an exercise room on the first floor.  Also it has extra space in the locker were more stuff can be kept.  The second floor is dedicated to receiving phone calls. and it has more space which allows more people on the phone to take incoming emergency calls.  The third floor is design for evidence.  It has new storage for all the evidence and it also has new equipment for fingerprints and blood samples.

The new building also has a better jail system.  It has cameras in every jail and the cells are in the middle of the room which allow for a 360 look.  In every cell there is a toilet and sink, and a camera to keep an eye on the inmates.  Also the new police headquarter has separate enclosed interviewing rooms adjacent to the lobby.  This are for people that want to come and file a report.  The cost of the building is said to be $35 million dollars.  The building is 55,000 sq ft. Now that the building is being occupied the other police building that was used before will be renovated and used for storage purposes only.
