Why does the Police Department need a new building?

When the current Public Safety Building was built in 1986, the Marysville Police Department had 24 employees.  30 years later, our city population is more than seven times larger.  The Police Department has expanded to serve our growing city and has outgrown the current facility.

A growing community plus the city's commitment to hire more police officers in the years ahead equals the need for a larger facility to serve Marysville today and into the future.
