The City has been setting aside funds for this project over the past several years and has purchased land for a new building. Following discussions with project consultants, it has become evident that the current savings will not fully cover the total cost of construction. To proceed with the project at this time, the City will need voter approval of a bond, which requires a super-majority (66.67%) vote in a Rexburg city election. We have worked to place this bond measure on the November 2025 ballot. Our goal is to provide transparency throughout the process so residents can make an informed decision on election day. In the coming months, we will continue to share additional information regarding this potential project. These updates will be shared through our digital platforms and in the City’s monthly newsletter. More information can also be found on our Rexburg Police Department Station Bond Webpage at https://www.rexburg.org/page/rpd-station-bond. Thank you & stay tuned, Mayor Jerry Merrill & Chief Joshua Rhodes As Rexburg continues to grow, the demands on our police department have increased significantly. The current police station, originally acquired for a much smaller department, now faces several critical challenges: 1. Size of Facility: The size of a police facility can affect daily operations, staffing, vehicle parking, and training capacity. 2. Infrastructure & Technology: The existing building no longer meets modern safety, technological, or energy-efficiency standards for accreditation by the Idaho Chief of Police Association (ICPA). 3. Public Safety Standards: Today’s law enforcement operations require secure evidence processing areas, enhanced safety for staff, and private, confidential spaces for victims and members of the public. 4. Future Preparedness: It is the goal of the department to accommodate future population growth and emergency response capabilities.
