Tigard's New Police & Public Works Facility

Why It's Needed

Building for the Future

Tigard’s current Police and Public Works buildings are outdated and unsafe. Designed decades ago, they would crumble in a major earthquake, risking the lives of our first responders when they’re needed most. A new facility will ensure they are ready to serve, no matter the crisis.

Earthquake-Resilient Design: A modern facility that meets stringent earthquake standards.

Centralized Emergency Operations: A dedicated space for coordinating disaster response.

Outdated & Overcrowded: Our current buildings are 35–65 years old and lack essential safety, technology, and space.

A Facility That Grows With Tigard

Tigard’s population has increased by 169% since City Hall was built, and our current facilities can’t keep up. A new, combined Police and Public Works facility will support Tigard’s growing needs and future-proof our city’s services.

Accommodating Growth: Our current buildings are overcrowded, undersized, and lack ADA accessibility.

Improved Recruitment & Efficiency: A modern facility will attract talent, improve staff collaboration, and streamline operations.

Unified Operations: Consolidating nine work sites into one will save time, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

Saving Money Now for a Stronger Tomorrow

Waiting will only increase costs. Building today will save money in the long run by reducing maintenance and rental expenses.

Rising Construction Costs: Costs increase 6% per year, so now is the time to build.

High Annual Costs: The city currently spends over $420,000 yearly on rental space and equipment storage.

Ongoing Maintenance: Over $500,000 spent annually to maintain aging facilities.

Community Safety, Privacy & Sustainability

A new facility will prioritize safety, privacy, and the environment.

Private, Secure Spaces: Confidential areas for victims and witnesses, and secure evidence storage.

Sustainable Design: Green technologies and materials will reduce long-term costs and environmental impact

Join Us in Building a Safer, Stronger Tigard


Investing in a new facility today will ensure that our first responders can continue to provide essential services during emergencies, meet the needs of our growing community, and protect both public safety and taxpayer dollars.
