Lake Forest, IL – Construction is officially underway on the new Lake Forest Police Headquarters, marking a major step in the city’s plan to modernize its public safety operations.
According to the City of Lake Forest, last week’s groundbreaking began the transformation of an existing office building into a state-of-the-art police facility designed to better serve officers and the community. The upgraded headquarters will provide enhanced technology, improved training spaces, and updated safety features to support operations “for decades to come.”
City officials said the project will continue through next year, with the grand opening expected in fall 2026. The Lake Forest Police Department is also sharing video updates on the construction’s progress, giving residents an inside look as the new headquarters takes shape.
This initiative follows years of planning and community discussion aimed at improving the department’s facilities and ensuring long-term sustainability for Lake Forest’s public safety team.
