The department operates from a modern, 18,000-square-foot police headquarters that includes an on-site fitness facility, indoor firearms training facility, modern interview rooms, training space, and updated technology. The department also offers a take-home vehicle program, modern equipment, continued training, specialty-pay opportunities, and the ability for officers to take an active role in the department’s continued growth.
