Hennepin County Unveils New Public Safety Facility in Plymouth

4:55 PM | Friday, May 30, 2025

Hennepin County leaders gathered in Plymouth to celebrate what’s described as a “new era in public safety.”

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt helped cut the ribbon for the new Public Safety Services headquarters in Plymouth.

Located next door to the county’s 911 dispatch center near Parkers Lake, the new $41 million facility serves as the main office for sheriff’s deputies, replacing its former Brooklyn Park location.

The Brooklyn Park facility was only supposed to be a temporary stopgap when it began operations in the mid-1990s. It ended serving Hennepin County for three decades.

The new facility offers ample storage for emergency vehicles, the Water Patrol Unit and Special Operations Unit.

Leaders call the state-of-the-art building a “renewed commitment to public safety.”

“Whenever a city has challenges, and they need help, they come to the Sheriff’s Office,” said Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Lunde. “So the Sheriff’s Office, if anything, is always there and needs to be ready. And we look at these facilities as a way to make sure they have the state-of-the-art place for them to do their work.”

The facility was designed with sustainable features, including solar panels, a green roof equipped with live plants and geothermal heating and cooling.

Led by Minneapolis-based Stahl Construction, the facility was designed and constructed over a period of two years.

“This building stands as a symbol of progress, readiness, and a strong bond between our Sheriff’s Office and the people it serves,” said Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt.

The Sheriff’s Office is hosting an open house at the new building, located at 1345 Shenandoah Ln. N., from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Tribute to Former Plymouth Chief

Hennepin County Commissioner Kevin Anderson said Plymouth has been a “long-time cornerstone” for public safety infrastructure in the county. Anderson also paid tribute to former Plymouth Police Chief and Public Safety Director Mike Goldstein, who passed away unexpectedly due to a medical incident on May 20.

“His leadership, dedication and compassion helped build a foundation for compassionate law enforcement and public safety not just within Plymouth, but in Hennepin County and across the state,” said Anderson. “His legacy will endure for years to come.”
