City Breaks Ground on New Police Station
El Mirage leaders were joined by a host of distinguished guests and citizens from throughout the West Valley on January 18 for groundbreaking ceremonies to
commemorate the start of construction on the city's new police station. When complete, the 22,000 square-foot facility will house expanded quarters for training,
investigations, evidence and offices to meet the Police Department's long-standing need for better, safer accommodations.
The new station represents the culmination of more than ten months of extensive planning in which input from police personnel helped develop a station design that
will offer both functionality, as well as energy savings for the city. Funding for the facility is the result of a bond approved by El Mirage voters last
November.
City Manager Spencer Isom described the groundbreaking ceremony as "a milestone in the city's efforts to bring residents the caliber of public safety protection
befitting our growing, thriving community."
In his remarks, Police Chief Steve Campbell extended a heartfelt thanks to city leaders and the citizens of El Mirage, and commended his staff for their patience,
having worked in less than ideal conditions even as the city's law enforcement needs escalated along with unprecedented population growth during the last
decade.
