Why Does the Avon Police Department Need a New Police Station?

In August of 2015, the Avon Town Council conducted a Facility Assessment and Space Needs Study of the current Town Hall, which houses the Police Department. The study found the current station to be antiquated, designed for half of the current staff, disjointed, and lacking in parking security. The study also identified the proposed Buck Creek site as the most desirable location for emergency response times and cited the benefits of co-location with the Fire District.

In addition, the Town of Avon researched other mountain resort town Police Departments to ensure that the operational program, square footage and parking spaces planned are commensurate with other departments of similar size.
