Casper City Council Grapples With Need for New Police Station
Outgrown.
Impractical.
A memo from Chief Keith McPheeters and Capt. Shane Chaney to City Manager Carter put it this way: Currently, storage closets and janitorial spaces have been converted into office spaces. Offices meant to hold one workspace now have three people juggling to use the limited space.
The Casper City Council at its work session Tuesday reviewed options about the police department housed in the mid-1970s-era Hall of Justice, 201 S. David St., which is shared with the Natrona County Sheriff s Office and the District Attorney s Office.
McPheeters presented the concerns to the council, saying the police department has never had a home of its own, and that affected its ability to provide public safety.
