The Denver Harbor Civic Club presented a plaque dated 07/08/2025 honoring state representative Anna Hernandez, Mayor John Whitmire, state representative Armando Wally, County Commissioner Adrian Garcia, Councilman Mario Castillo and State Senator Carol Alvarado for their support of the project.

City materials said the project took a 105-year-old building, gutted and renovated it to serve as the new Central Station and the special operations division. Officials described the project as an example of collaboration under the Whitmire administration and tied the facility work to ongoing recruiting efforts for the department.
