Storefront Operation

     The City of Laramie Police Department's Storefront Operation has been two and half years in the making. It originated as an answer to the downtown business association request to have more presence in the down town area to help minimize perceived vandalism and burglary concerns. The process started as a test with a small abandoned book store being used for a downtown command post for officers during our annual Jubillee Days celebration. This temporary facility was accepted well by both officers and the downtown community.

     During the next year, a search in ernest was made for a location with off street parking and proximity to the downtown area. The Moose Club generously volunteered a connected portion of their building that used to be a drive up bank. This location was a perfect fit for the fledging storefront since it had good off street parking and the glass that was left from the bank was bulletproof adding to the security of the building.

     This section of the building had not been used in quite sometime so with the help of officers volunteering their time, cleaning, maintenance. and painting occurred to help defray costs. New counters and computers were installed so officers have access to do reports and email from the storefront; in addition, an extra room was donated by the Fraternal Order of the Moose that now houses our Crime Prevention Office full time.

     To man this storefront for public foot traffic, the Laramie Police Department is developing a volunteer program that should be in place by the next fiscal year.
