The former police station and jail was originally built in 1960 as a city hall that was approximately 80,000 square feet and sat on just over three acres of land. The city hall had been a bustling central hub of activity for many years, as the building once had over 50 different law enforcement staff working inside.
As the years wore on, the building began to slowly fall apart. The once pristine walls became dusty and cracked, the windows grew cloudy from the harsh weather elements, so city officials made a decision to build a brand new city hall within the same area. The old city hall was finally closed in 2008 and it has sat abandoned ever since.
Exploring the abandoned city hall was much more of a mission than we had initially anticipated. Upon our first attempt, we were able to get inside the building, however we were completely unaware that there were motion sensors still connected and hooked up to active alarms!
The entire time that we were exploring, we were sketched out, on edge, and full of anxiety as we continuously set off the alarms over and over again. Overall, the deafening loud alarms helped with the overall experience and made it a very sketchy location. It literally felt as if the police were going to walk around the corner at any minute - and I’m sure you can imagine how mad they would be to catch us inside their old station!
The most memorable parts were the different colored cell blocks, the courtrooms, the filing cabinets of old paperwork and criminal records, and the detective offices filled with outdated arrest reports and even crime scene photos! With the full experience in addition to all that was left behind for us to uncover and discover, this abandoned police station was an explore that we will never forget. And that’s going to take us to the end of the abandoned police station and jail with alarms. I’m sure you can clearly see that this was one wild explore, so we are optimistic that you all will like the video.
