There’s no question Lubbock needs a new police headquarters.
The A-J Media editorial board toured the current facility and it was obvious a new one is needed, and as soon as possible.
But where should a new one be, and how should the city pay for it?
Forget renovating the current police presence at Municipal Square. However accurate the $48 million estimate is for such a renovation, any amount close to that would be a foolish expenditure when a new facility could be built in the neighborhood of $60 million.
