One floor of the building is dedicated to one main purpose housing its workout equipment. We are trying to build a climate within the department where officers take care of themselves both physically and mentally, Maj. of Administration Adam Schaefer told The Hawk Eye on Friday.
In addition, Schaefer said being in law enforcement is a physically demanding job. All the workout equipment either has been purchased by officers or through donations to the department, and there are a few officers who have worked as physical trainers.
The equipment is divided into two areas a weight room and a cardio room. Schaefer said this provides more privacy for officers.
