Get out the police department's open house Jan. 26

Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Mon, 2010-01-25 13:30

The West Linn Police Department will host an open house at its facility from 5-8 p.m. Jan. 26.

This is an opportunity for residents to tour the current facility, and meet the officers at the station (22825 Willamette Dr. in West Linn).

The West Linn Police Department is in the old City Hall Building built in the 1930s. Originally the second floor was the City Hall, and the first floor contained a Post Office, grocery store and meat market. During the years, as the city grew, the police department took over more of the building. When the new City Hall was built on Salamo Rd., the WLPD took over the entire building.

The City only owns the "footprint" of the building, all the parking is on Mill property. The current building lacks many of the modern amenities of a police station including lack of emergency power, showers, and adequate evidence processing areas.

The City of West Linn is in the process of designing a new facility to meet current and future needs.
