A New Building to Meet Community Needs
We have heard multiple times that public safety is one of the top priorities of our residents. Town leadership has responded accordingly by setting the goal of being fully staffed for 24/7 coverage with 20 police officers in Timnath by years end of 2022. With this goal in mind, it’s especially important to allow for a future police building that is designed to be functional and can accommodate the growth of the team over the long term.
About the Facility
The building design includes important features the current building lacks including:
- Room for additional officers and staff
- Necessary space for evidence storage
- Evidence processing area
- Interview rooms
- Patrol Briefing area
- A designated, camera surveilled area for Court ordered Parental Child exchanges, and for CRAIGSLIST or EBAY private party transactions.
- Processing and short-term detention area
We’ve Already Broken Ground!
In December of 2021, the Mayor, Town Council, staff, and community members gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new facility. Construction is underway!
