The city’s police department is facing significant challenges due to space constraints in its current facility, which has been in use for over 30 years after being converted from a furniture store. The department has seen substantial growth, adding 52 sworn officers in the past 14 years, bringing the total personnel to 128, with an authorized strength of 142 and an additional 15 civilian staff members.

Currently, every available office space is fully utilized, and with the city’s rapid growth, further expansion of the department is anticipated. However, officials have expressed concerns that there is no remaining space to accommodate additional personnel or resources, highlighting an urgent need for a new facility to support the department's operational needs and future growth.
