Hood River municipal officials are continuing to work on plans to put a bond measure on the ballot in November 2020 to construct a new police headquarters. That office has bounced around a number of times in the past three decades, and is currently in the lower level of City Hall, occupying around 4,500 square feet. A consultant recently retained by the City has recommend a facility of around 13,000 square feet in size to address current needs and future growth. Assistant City Manager Will Norris says it’s not just about having a larger building, but also the functionality that most modern police departments have. Norris noted they currently are looking at six potential locations for the facility. The City has bonds that constructed the new fire hall adjacent to the Hood River City Hall coming off the books over the next three years.
