New Braunfels City Council held a ground breaking ceremony Jan. 14 at the site of the new facility on the 3000 block of West San Antonio Street, across from the Comal County Sheriff's Office.
Information from the city states the new facility will replace the old 30,000-square-foot building on South Seguin Avenue and will include office space for criminal investigations, administration, support services and a training room.
The 12-acre site will also house the New Braunfels Veterans Memorial, which a press release from the city describes as "an etched granite structure honoring the branches of the U.S. military as well as the names of local service members who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country."
The release states funding for the police headquarters and memorial comes through the voter-approved 2019 bond election, and construction is expected to be complete in mid-2022, pending weather and other factors.
