INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) — City leaders, police officers, and community members gathered this morning to break ground on a new $45 million police headquarters in Indio.
The facility will serve as the new central hub for the Indio Police Department and is part of the city’s expanding Public Safety Campus.
According to city officials, the headquarters will include updated workspaces, training areas, meeting rooms, community spaces, and new technology designed to support police operations and community engagement.
Officials say the project is intended to meet the needs of Indio’s growing population while providing officers and staff with additional resources to serve residents.
The facility will include updated workspaces, training areas, interview rooms, community meeting spaces, and technology aimed at improving police operations and response capabilities. It will also provide room for future expansion as the city’s population continues to grow.
Police Chief Brian Tully said the new headquarters represents an investment in the department’s future and will allow officers to better respond to the community’s needs.
The project is the final major piece of Indio’s Public Safety Campus, joining the city’s fire station, dispatch center, and Public Safety Services Building.
Nearby business owners also welcomed the investment, saying they hope it continues downtown Indio’s revitalization while helping residents and visitors feel safer walking between local businesses and community events.
Construction is now underway. City officials expect the new headquarters to open in late 2027 or early 2028. A beam-signing ceremony is planned for later this fall as construction progresses.
