Background The City of Fremont is a growing community (population 27,318) in southeastern County Nebraska and sits northeast of Omaha, NE at the intersection of Highways US-77, US-275 and US-30. City of Fremont Police Station and Dispatch Center The current Police Station and Dispatch Center is a 2-story building that sits at 725 N Park Street between Downtown Fremont to the south and John C. Fremont Park to the north. The building was constructed in 1964 and previously served as the City Municipal building prior to being the home of the Police Department. The existing building is roughly 20,000 SF including a 5000 SF garage that houses 9 cruisers and 1 SWAT vehicle. The Police Department is made up 52 FT employees and the Dispatch Center employs another 12 people. The current facility is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the community due to limited square footage, deterioration, and general obsolescence. C.
