Officials with the City of Council Bluffs said Thursday (today), that the five members of the Council Bluffs City Council are unified in their decision to build a new Council Bluffs Police Department.

Voters are going to the polls in a special election May 3rd to cast a ballot regarding the $20 million bond needed to fund a new police building. The entire City Council is asking residents to vote in favor of the bond.

The Council says it recognizes the need, as the police force has outgrown the current 40 year old building. The police department they agree, has run out of room to operate efficiently and effectively.

A press conference about their unified support for the project will be held Monday afternoon.
