BOISE, Idaho — The Boise Police Department has opened its new Whitewater Station, located at 3159 W. State Street, at the intersection of Whitewater Boulevard and State Street. A ribbon cutting was held on Wednesday morning to celebrate the opening of the new station.
“The City of Boise is committed to creating a safe and welcoming city for everyone,” said Mayor Lauren McLean. "This is another step that the Boise Police Department is taking towards that goal."
The location aims to reduce response times and provide more convenience for officers on duty, according to a press release.
"What we wanted to do was not be pulling officers needing to do police reports, do other administrative tasks, all the way back to the west side of the city," said Boise Police Chief Christopher Dennison. "So it enables us to keep officers employed on this side of the city. It's just more efficient."
