One of the proposals in La Crosse’s 2021-2025 Capital Improvement Budget is a public safety center.
The building would combine elements for both the fire and police departments in La Crosse.
The top priority for the La Crosse Fire and Police Departments is to protect and serve the community, but they first need the resources to do so. “Certainly, a lot of our facilities for what the police department needs are fairly dated, similar to the fire departments,” fire chief Ken Gilliam said. “And with that, is there an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?”
Both departments are exploring ideas for a public safety center to be built in the future.
