UNM to begin construction on new university police headquarters
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – For more than two decades, the University of New Mexico Police Department has used a dorm for their headquarters and offices- but soon, that will change. 'It was never really designed to be or function as a police department,' said Jeff McDonald, Security Operations Director for UNM. 'It was a dorm building.' Story continues below Crime: Third grade Farmington teacher arrested in connection to husband's stabbing death Entertainment: Japanese retailer Daiso sets opening date for first Albuquerque store Traffic: Albuquerque speed cameras are slowing drivers but less than half of tickets are paid Starting next week, UNM police will begin to see construction on their brand-new headquarters located at University and Mesa Vista Rd. 'The new building will allow us to expand a little bit as the department needs grow,' McDonald said. McDonald explained that this will create a dedicated place for his officers, instead of working in a building meant for student housing. It will also help address parking problems. 'This is going to be a much better situation for them as far as parking their vehicles and having a secure lot,' said Jim Lloyd, Project Manager for UNM Facilities Design and Construction. The building will cost about $17 million, with $9 million coming from institutional bonds and the remaining $8 million from university funds. University police said they hope the location will increase police visibility on campus. They said neighbors are already happy with the move. 'We've already had those discussions with them and they're feeling much safer now knowing that the police department is their neighbor,' McDonald added. Once police move out of Hokona Hall, the university said they want to renovate it to serve only as a dorm hall to address increased enrollment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
