Male and female locker rooms and the report room are located in the basement of a parking garage across the street from Police Headquarters. They share a hallway leading to the rear portion of a Postal Service facility. Although the rooms are relatively new, well maintained, and serviceable, few security measures are in place. Entrance doors are secured only by card-access magnetic locks. Other than a street-facing camera located near the entrance to the small garage area of Police Headquarters, there are no alarms or security cameras covering the report and locker room area. Likewise, no security measures are in place in the section of the municipal garage used for parking of Department vehicles, despite the fact that vehicles contain police equipment and weapons, and vandalism has occurred in the garage in the past.
The Department should augment security in these areas, particularly with the installation of security cameras with recording capability at the outside of the report/locker area entrance and common hallway, and in the parking garage.
