The Broomfield Police Detention Center, located at 11600 Ridge Parkway in southwest Broomfield, is a 50,000 square foot facility that has already made its mark on the national corrections scene. Designed to house 80 inmates, the facility has enjoyed national recognition for its design and operational philosophy. Since the first arrest made in the new City and County of Broomfield on November 15, 2001, the facility's first year of operation resulted in 1,900 arrestees being processed. Prior to this date, Broomfield Police officers were required to process an arrestee in any one of four different counties, with county jails as far away as Greeley, Colorado (40 miles). This resulted in an inefficient use of time, money, and resources. | ||
Voter approval in November 1998 started the long process to build a detention facility that would serve the needs of the Broomfield community for many years. Overall goals included incorporating current technology, utilizing the best operational plans available, combining several government functions into one location, and recruiting the best people available to make it all happen. |
