LAWRENCE, Ind. (WISH) – A symbolic groundbreaking ceremony was held Wednesday morning for the new Lawrence Police Department building.

The new police headquarters is going up at the site of the historic Snafu Saloon on Post Road near 56th Street.

The new location will come equipped with a fitness room, a state-of-the-art property room and a community room.
