After outgrowing a 19,000 sq. ft., 43-year-old building, the City of Council Bluffs’ Police Department needed a new headquarters. Growing pains included inadequate space for employees, lack of storage and old technology. After several unsuccessful years of campaigning for a bond to pay for the construction of the new facility, the City was out of options.
Over an 18-month period, Hoefer Welker teamed with the City to identify current and future space needs for the new headquarters. Our team also evaluated 13 sites and assisted the city with its bond election. The bond election passed and the project obtained unanimous city council support(something that hadn’t happened in their community in nearly 20 years).
The new facility provides much-needed space, resources, and room for growth. Sizable evidence storage was included with motorized shelving that helps conserve space and improve access. Also included is an upgraded cybercrime lab, drug testing room, and photo lab. Its design and site orientation are welcoming and approachable to the public.
