I don't think OPA offers any retirement plan to anyone that would cause what you fear.

Why not lease a new HQ? Get it off our balance sheet and just rent one of the vacant properties in the same shopping center DiNovas is. I assume Walgreens will close once the new one on 589 is ready.

Interesting and out-of-box idea. Not sure if that would work for OPA. Regardless, the police just reported crime is down in OP. Also, a primary impetus for this $500,000 was a prisoner who escaped from the current police department in the admin building. He was apparently only restrained by some device in the drywall. He pulled out the devices and left by a rear door. At any rate, that's what I've heard.

The department has operated in the current area for many years. OP is not getting any bigger. Perhaps all that's needed is some remodeling and better restraints for those arrested before they are are moved to the state police or county lockup. OPA, to my knowledge, does not house prisoners and hopefully we never will.

One thing we have not heard definitively, to my knowledge, is what the police chief thinks OPA needs in terms of a police station and why.
