Friends of Public Safety

Our Fire, EMS, and Police are subject to dangerous and appalling conditions. How do we as Princeton Residents fix this situation? COME OUT AND VOTE. Don't let a small group of dissenters jeopardize your safety. Let's work together on a building we will be proud of that will last for decades.

You can have a new Public Safety Building for LESS than the cost of a cup of coffee/day!* Really, why is this such an issue for our collective health and safety!

See the links below for the REAL story, not the half-truths and exaggerations.

Did you know that:

The present Public Safety Building housing the Prinecton Police and Princeton Fire Departmens does not meet any modern standards.

The Police made over 75 arrests in the last year, and 25 of those arrests were "confined." Confined means the people arrested were chained to a wall or steel bench in a busy corridor. This same busy corridor has the only bathroom and that bathroom door must remain open when needed by prisoners.

The secure prisoner receiving port ("Sally Port") has such bad cracks in the concrete floor that it cannot house vehicles because water drips down from the vehicles into the secure radio room below.

Princeton Fire does not have 24/7/365 EMS coverage. It is hard to attract good EMS providers where there are no defined crew quarters, conditions are poor, and there are no separate squad rooms for men and women, etc.

The drains in the Fire Station are irreparably clogged; water bubbles up onto the floor--personnel regularly have to stand in a puddle of water to plug our ambulance into the power line.

The clearance from the top of the garage door to the top of the ambulance is only inches. We have had to move our antennas that communicate with the hospital and our dispatch to a less than ideal location, resulting in less than ideal radio coverage. And, if we don't shovel the snow away from the front of the door, the ambulance will strike the top frame. Shoveling can delay our response.

This is our secure radio room. The concrete structure is failing badly
