Bradenton Police Department Breaks Ground on $35 Million Headquarters

The Bradenton Police Department marked a significant milestone this morning with the official groundbreaking of its new headquarters at 705 3rd Street West.

The $35 million facility is designed to support the department’s current needs while preparing for future growth, offering upgraded resources to enhance public safety and service delivery across the city.

Construction has already begun on the site’s parking garage, with visible progress on the main building expected to begin in the coming weeks.

The new state-of-the-art headquarters will also improve accessibility for residents and further the department’s commitment to its community policing model.

The project is expected to be completed in late 2026, ushering in a new era of modernized law enforcement infrastructure for Bradenton.
