NOBLESVILLE, IN (October 29, 2026) – Today, City of Noblesville officials joined the Noblesville Police Department, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 198, and project partners to officially break ground on the site for the new Noblesville Police Station Headquarters, located at 1715 Division Street. The project partners include Garmong, DCCM, GM Development, and Veridus Advisors. The new Police Headquarters is projected to be completed and open for use in Q4 2028.
The new headquarters, a 59,000-square-foot facility will bring police personnel and operations currently spread across multiple locations together under one roof, creating a more collaborative working environment. It will also provide a modern, purpose-built headquarters designed to improve department operations, enhance officer training and wellness, and accommodate the needs of Noblesville's growing community.
“Public safety will always be a top priority for the City of Noblesville, and this new headquarters represents our continued commitment to the men and women who protect and serve our community every day,” said Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen. “As our city continues to grow, it is important that we invest in the infrastructure and resources needed to support our police officers, strengthen public safety, and ensure Noblesville remains one of the safest places in the United States to live, work, and raise a family. The safety and security of our community all starts with a well-equipped public safety department.”
Constructing a new police headquarters is a top priority in the city's 10-year Capital Improvement Plan, and the Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed the plan and location. The Noblesville Police Department has operated out of the Public Safety Building on Maple Avenue since 1992. Since then, the city has grown significantly, and the Noblesville Police Department now employs 111 sworn officers, 14 civilian staff, five patrol K-9 units, and two therapy K-9s.
“This groundbreaking ceremony is a culmination of countless hours, hard work, and dedication from so many people, to get us where we are today. Mayor Jensen and his administration made building a new police headquarters a top priority and demonstrated unwavering commitment to making it a reality,” said Noblesville Police Chief Brad Arnold. “We are proud of the work our officers do every day, and this new headquarters will provide them a modern facility that meets their needs today while preparing us for the growth and opportunities of tomorrow. This building was designed with the needs and wellbeing of the officers in mind and included direct input from officers across all our divisions. It will be a home largely of their making, which makes me very happy we can provide that for them. Our NPD family will soon have a home!”
Designed with both current and future needs in mind, the headquarters will feature:
- Enhanced Police Operations: Modern workspaces, improved security measures, and updated communications and technology infrastructure to support efficient daily operations.
- Room for Future Growth: Flexible spaces and infrastructure designed to accommodate the department's evolving needs over the next two decades.
- Officer Health and Wellness: Dedicated areas for physical fitness, breaks and decompression, along with natural lighting, and thoughtfully designed workspaces to support officer well-being.
- Training and Professional Development: Spaces designed to strengthen officer training, collaboration, and professional growth.
- Community Engagement: A welcoming public entrance and dedicated community meeting space to foster stronger connections between law enforcement and residents.
“This groundbreaking represents an important milestone for the Noblesville Police Department and the future of public safety for the city. A new police station is more than a building; it’s an investment in our officers and our ability to serve the public,” said Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 198 President and NPD Lieutenant Spencer Flowers. “Reaching this point is a testament to the collaboration, commitment, and shared vision of everyone who has worked hard to make this project a reality. On behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 198, we are proud to be part of this effort and look forward to seeing the positive impact this new facility will have on our officers and the community we serve for years to come.”
The project also represents an important investment in the city's East Gateway, transforming a portion of the former industrial property into a civic destination and supporting the long-term vision outlined in the East Gateway Master Plan.
