City Hosts Bozeman Public Safety Center Ribbon Cutting

BOZEMAN – Years of work on the new Public Safety Center in Bozeman are coming to an end. The City of Bozeman invites all members of the media and public to celebrate the grand opening of the Bozeman Public Safety Center, located on 901 N Rouse Avenue, on Sept. 16 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. with a ribbon cutting followed by tours of the building.

“This occasion recognizes the hard work of so many contractors and staff members and the support we have had from the community to bring the vision of the Bozeman Public Safety Center to fruition,” Mayor Cyndy Andrus stated. “We are fortunate to live in a community that values public safety as much as we do, and this building symbolizes that.”

The safety center was designed to address the impacts of the rapidly growing city as the city had outgrown the Law and Justice Center previously located on South 19th Avenue. It is a 3-story 95,000 square foot structure with room to add employees as the city continues to grow, and is now home to  the Bozeman Police Department, Fire Station #1, Municipal Courts, Prosecution and Victim Services. The building also includes state of the art public meeting spaces and was built with the best practices in sustainability and disaster preparedness in mind.

The project began with a land exchange with the Montana Department of Transportation in 2013. Construction on the building began in summer 2020 and wrapped up in summer 2022.
 
Members of the public can now access the building for services. With multiple public safety services located in one space, staff can better serve the public through convenient, centralized, and state-of-the-art facility for many years to come.
 
“We invite all to join us on Sept. 16 to take a tour of the new building and chat with our staff,” said Mayor Andrus.
