The Ralston C.O.P.S. Station offers the services provided at City Hall, just in a different location to better serve Arvada residents. Chief Ron Sloan hopes by bringing police services closer to citizens, people will feel more comfortable talking and working with officers who patrol their neighborhood. Police believe having a permanent police presence in the area will go far in reducing crime and the fear of crime. The station's proximity to an RTD route, senior center and apartments is an added bonus as many people will be able to access services provided at the office.
Future plans involve offering other city services at the center as well.
