  • Nephi City Police move to new headquarters


By Myrna Trauntvein

The Nephi City Police Department is in the process of moving their headquarters.

The old office, located inside the city building, is being abandoned for the new and roomier site just north of the county building in the space once occupied by Juab School District offices.

"The school district is completely moved out," said Mayor Chad Brough. "The offices are now largely completed and the police department will spend the next few days moving."

Brough said the new space was a much better location for the department.

He invited council members to visit the new location and compare the two offices.

"This should work out to be a good building for the police department and has the room the department needs," said Brough. "There is no comparison with the old cramped office they were working out of."

The building became available to the city through a three-way exchange of property.

The school district purchased the former hospital clinic building, the city traded property to Central Valley Medical Center, and Juab School District agreed to sell their former office to the city for a police department office.

The building once was an LDS Seminary building when Juab High School occupied the now county building.
