The Nashville
Police Department’s Central
(downtown) Precinct will receive
much needed additional office space
by moving into the shadow of the
Music City Center at Korean Veterans
Boulevard and 6th Avenue South.
The Central
Precinct has occupied 5,300 square
feet in the front of Bridgestone
Arena, where there is no room for
expansion, since October 2005. Mayor
Dean’s Capital Spending Plan
provides for approximately 10,000
square feet of police space in a new
building to be constructed directly
across the street from Nashville’s
dynamic new convention center
complex.
“This
proposal is a win for the 120
officers and detectives assigned to
the Central Precinct, the downtown
community and Nashville’s visitors,”
said Precinct Commander Jason
Reinbold. “Not only will a new
building relieve cramped office
space and improve working
conditions, it will allow the police
department to uniquely complement
the Music City Center in a place
specifically designed for police
precinct operations.”
