A new public safety facility will be constructed in the northeast section of Mesa funded by the 2022 public safety bond. This facility will allow Mesa Police to further partner with our community to prevent and to reduce crime in northeast Mesa. Construction of this facility will improve response times for police, fire, and medical responders. The facility will include a community room for meetings and serve as an anchor for Public Safety in northeast Mesa. The Northeast Public Safety Facility began in May of 2023 and is projected to be completed by January 2025.

The Public Safety Training Facility renovation project will utilize the 2022 public safety bond to update and expand Mesa Public Safety Training Facility for both the Mesa Police Department (MPD) and the Mesa Fire and Medical Department. This reinvestment ensures that MPD will continue to train with updated training resources as well as provide effective spaces to instruct employees regarding Public Safety to ensure procedural justice. The Public Safety Training Facility renovation is estimated to be completed by May of 2026.
