Press Release: Rutland Herald Highlights Future of Police Headquarters
Rutland, VT – February 28, 2023 – The Rutland Herald’s recent editorial titled “Future Focus” emphasizes the significance of the Rutland City Police headquarters, located at 108 Wales St., amid proposed changes by the current administration.
In 1999, Rutland voters approved two substantial bond issues totaling $1.5 million to establish and retrofit the police facility, ensuring its functionality and safety for both the public and officers. This transition from the City Hall to the dedicated police headquarters not only enhanced workspace and parking but also provided a more secure environment for all.
Now, 25 years later, the editorial urges that the headquarters remains at its current, well-suited location rather than relocating to the Asa Bloomer State Office Building, as suggested by city officials. The Rutland Herald argues that the Wales Street site has consistently met the facility’s operational needs and, with continuous maintenance, is equipped to serve the community for many more years.
The piece concludes resolutely that the police headquarters should remain at 108 Wales St., underscoring its historical significance and suitability as the nerve center for law enforcement in Rutland. As discussions about real estate and municipal facilities continue, the Rutland Herald firmly advocates for a focus on maintaining successful and established community assets, ensuring they serve their intended purpose effectively for generations to come.
