Columbus Division of Police Headquarters, Police headquarters in downtown Columbus, United States.
Columbus Division of Police Headquarters is an eight-story building in downtown Columbus with modern architecture that reflects design elements from City Hall. The structure includes a public lobby with an information desk, display cases, a cafeteria, and a 275-seat auditorium.
Constructed between 1990 and 1991, this building replaced the previous Central Police Station dating to 1930. The new facility represented a significant expansion to accommodate modern policing operations in the city.
The headquarters displays two large lion sculptures named Patience and Perseverance, moved here from the previous police station as enduring symbols of law enforcement values.
The building welcomes visitors during business hours in its public lobby, where you can find information and explore the accessible spaces. Keep in mind that you must follow standard security procedures when entering any government office building.
The building has struggled with insulation problems since its completion, creating persistent temperature control issues. These ongoing challenges have shaped maintenance efforts throughout the structure's history.
