(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Police Department will hold an open house today to showcase the new police station facilities. The open house will be from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. Police Chief Kevin Vande Vegte says many people had doubts and wondered how a former auto dealership building could be converted
to house a modern police station?
Vande Vegte says the new Le Mars Police station has become the envy of other police departments. He says people attending the open house will see a modern facility.
The Le Mars Police Chief says officers will be standing at various positions within the building, helping guide visitors, and answering questions.
Vande Vegte says the Le Mars Police Department has 14 officers. He says the open house will serve as an opportunity for people to meet and greet their police department.
Police Chief Kevin Vande Vegte shows off the new police station to city council members when they toured the facility in November of last year.
The Police Department Open House will run from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. with the ribbon cutting ceremony slated for 5:00 p.m.
Chief Vande Vegte shows Le Mars Mayor Dick Kirchoff the forensics room at the new police station.
The Le Mars Police Station is located on Business Highway 75 – North.
