The building was constructed from 1990 to 1991 on the site of former municipal buildings. It replaced the department's Central Police Station, built in 1930. The new headquarters was lauded at its opening, though it was built over-budget, it had seen issues before opening, and was plagued with problems during its operation, especially insulation problems, for the first several decades of its use.
