The Arcadia Police Department is considering using the old National Guard Armory as a storage area for seized cars and stolen property, among other things.
The National Guard Armory building has been demolished and a portion of Arcadia Police Department, that recently housed the men's and women's locker rooms, has been demolished to make way for construction of a new $16 million police facility. A ceremonial groundbreaking will take place in the area behind the current police facility at 250 W. Huntington Drive, on September 28.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held at Arcadia's new 911 Center on a 3.5 acre parcel where the National Guard Armory once stood adjacent to the Arcadia Police Department.
