Claremont City Council has prioritized remodeling and renovating the Claremont Police Department Station to meet the standards of today’s society since the Claremont Police station is not able to utilize certain types of modern equipment. The citizens who meet every month to address the issues of the city decided that rebuilding and reconditioning the police station is a top priority as they voted 5-0. The police department has high hopes to begin renovating the building completely, as the police station slowly begins to fall out of the range of standards that are required by the state of California.

Claremont City Council approved funding for a new police station as the citizens decided this is a priority for Claremont, and the police department itself has pondered over this problem for over 10 years. Ultimately, it will be decided in the 2015 November ballot whether or not it should be put into action.

Thus, if the November ballot this year approves of the plan for funding, which would be about $50 million, the new police station should begin to be built summer of 2016 and be completed the following year in 2017 (varying from 18 to 24 months until completion). The police department will be collaborating with other agencies and the city manager that will help aid in creating a new police station that will be able to meet the needs of the city.
