Neighbors for a Safe Redmond supports the Public Safety Facility Bond for many reasons, including:
- Redmond Police Department has outgrown its current, aging, building.
- The current police station is an aging building the Redmond Police Department has outgrown. It was designed for a 36 person police department that now has more than 60 officers and staff. Taxpayers are spending $30,000 each year for repairs to the aging building. A new facility will cost less to maintain and will meet the need of Redmond’s population growth and public safety needs for at least 30 years.
- Improved victim privacy is needed in Redmond.
- The current police station fails to provide adequate privacy for crime victims to be interviewed away from the public and even criminals. A new, modern facility will ensure victims of crime have the privacy they deserve and are kept separate from criminals and the public.
- We support our hardworking police officers.
- Police officers put their lives on the line each day and face increasing public pressure from those who want to defund police departments or demonize the police profession. Police officers and the Redmond community need and deserve modern public safety facilities.
- Improved dressing and bathroom facilities are needed in Redmond.
- The current police station has outdated, inadequate, and unequal dressing room and bathroom facilities for men and women police officers. A new facility will provide improved and equal locker room facilities for both men and women police officers and staff.
