Bismarck City Commissioners Approve $10 Million Budget for New Police Headquarters

The Bismarck city commissioners have given the green light to a preliminary budget of up to $10 million for a new police headquarters in the northeast part of town. This marks the start of the design phase for a massive 1.2 million square foot site adjacent to the new City Hall annex. The total build cost is expected to range between $24 and $28 million, with $1.2 million allocated for construction planning and $450,000 for engineering. The project will be funded through the citys half-cent sales tax, replacing the current station on South Ninth Street. The new facility will house up to 120 sworn officers, up from the current 96, and include training rooms, a firing range, evidence storage, and specialized areas. The five-acre site, purchased from Basin Electric for $570,000, will provide approximately 244 square feet per employee, making it a highly efficient space. The design process is now underway, paving the way for a modern police hub that supports growth and ensures the citys safety.
