Our EOC / Police Station is located at 1270 W Park, #C. The facility was originally built for a much smaller emergency management operation in 1988. The overall function of the EOC is a central command and control facility responsible for carrying out the principles of emergency preparedness and emergency management, or disaster management functions at a strategic level during an emergency and ensuring the continuity of operation of the city. In 2009, Redlands Police Department Operations and Support Services divisions were relocated to the city’s EOC. The EOC currently houses Records, Dispatch, Patrol, Watch Commanders, Volunteers, Community Policing Officers, Parking Control Officers and the K-9 unit. These increased 24/7 daily operational functions along with emergency management within our EOC have challenged us with insufficient workspace, older and outdated equipment, lack of storage areas, computer software and hardware needs, storage and overall inadequate facilities to meet our needs and ability to respond and mitigate emergency incidents. This project will provide the necessary funding to begin the fundamental improvements to support effective EOC operations and bring our EOC to an appropriate level to meet the needs of our growing community.   850000
