Out of the ‘broom closet’: Campbell breaks ground on new, more spacious police station

THE CAMPBELL POLICE Department will soon move out of its small, decades-old location into a new 21st century building.

The department broke ground last week on its new 24,000-square-foot operation center, which is set to open in 2025. The building will be funded in part by Measure O, a $50 million general obligation bond passed by 69.5 percent of voters in 2018 to renovate police headquarters and the Campbell Public Library. The entire complex, which houses the town’s government offices, library and police department, dates back to the 1970s.
