Purchase Of Building For Temporary Police Headquarters Approved
The Raleigh City Council has approved the purchase of an office building at 6716 Six Forks Road for $6.23 million to serve as a temporary location for the Raleigh Police Department headquarters during construction of the Clarence E. Lightner Public Safety Center.
The approximately 46,000 square feet building sits on 2.26 acres and has 142 parking spaces. The building will be the temporary headquarters for several divisions of the Raleigh Police Department that are currently located at 100 S. McDowell Street including the Chief’s Office, Detective Division, Field Operations, and Administrative Services. Police Records and the Information Desk will also be located in the building.
Current plans are to start the up-fit of the building in November with the Police Department offices relocation coming in the first quarter of 2009. The public will be notified of operational changes that are required when the move is completed.
