FY22 (CIP $11M BI-15-PD-09): NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY

Description: The Police Department Facility Study conducted in FY14 determined the current facility no longer meets the needs of the Police Department. This project would fund the design and construction of a new facility after a site and conceptual design are complete.

FY22 (CIP $400k annual for 6 yr BI-21-PD-10): POLICE FACILITY DEFICIENCIES & REPAIR PROJECT

Description: A 2018 public presentation provided insight into some of the unique needs and requirements of a police facility. Although a funding request for a new facility has been included in the CIP plan since the space needs study was completed, citywide costs have to be prioritized. A new police facility is still on the list. Major overhauls of multiple areas continue to be addressed, including, but not limited to: security, ADA compliance, IT infrastructure and control room, evidence processing and submittal areas, restructure and renovation of Detectives, restructure and renovation of all locker rooms, temperature and humidity control in specified areas, parking, equipment storage, archive space upgrades, additional garage/vehicle evidence bays, upgrades to walls, lighting and flooring-to include asbestos abatement and paint, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades. Although facility, space and operational efficiencies will still be a major issue after this project, as defined in the space needs study, this project addresses immediate facility deficiencies until a new police facility is approved.

Police Department Parking Area:

Plans are moving forward for additional measures to secure the Police Department parking area at the rear of City Hall. Additional lighting and a fence along the perimeter near Blossom Street will be completed in September 2021.
