The Headquarters facility is designed to enhance the quality of life and morale of officers, staff and the general public.  Enhancements include:  spacious locker rooms and shower facilities, a fully equipped work-out room, lunchroom with modern appliances, an outdoor employee break area with water feature, a community room and more than 50 public visitor parking spaces.
