City officials break ground for Desert Hot Springs Police Department annex

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - Desert Hot Springs City officials were on hand Tuesday to break ground for the new Desert Hot Springs Police Department annex project.

The new development will be on Pierson Boulevard near the existing Desert Hot Springs Police Station, and will include locker rooms and work spaces for police detectives and other specialized teams.

City officials, including the new Desert Hot Springs Chief of Police Steven Shaw, say the annex will play a vital role in enhancing public safety services in Desert Hot Springs.

The annex is part of the larger Public Safety Campus project, in the works since late 2022, which will also include a new fire station.
