May 30, 2018 – Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» President Jackson N. Sasser, Vice President for Advancement Chuck Clemons, and members of the District Board of Trustees will be on hand for the dedication ceremony of the new Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Police Department building Thursday, May 31, at 9 a.m.
The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»PD headquarters will provide the police department with separate, dedicated rooms for interviewing victims and suspects. It will also allow Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s emergency management officials meeting space needed, and enable a more efficient process of distributing services to the college community.
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»PD Chief Ed Book says the expansion now "enables us to provide better service and increased safety for the whole college community." Book added that the million dollar expansion "demonstrates the enormous value that President Sasser, our Board of Trustees, and top college officials place on safety and security for our college,"
The old Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»PD (Building T) will still be utilized as offices, archived files and other needed office space. The new facility, located just south of the old building and north of the Natural Sciences building (Building X) essentially doubles the size of the space Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»'s law enforcement can use.
