The new Smithfield Police Department maintenance garage went into service in June of 2004. Construction of this garage began in the fall of 2003 and continued through the winter. The 46’ x 46’ garage has two bays, 16 ft ceilings, and can easily store four cruisers for various types of maintenance. The garage also has two hydraulic lifts and ample space for tools and equipment needed to keep the fleet in top running condition. 

Completion of the maintenance garage was an important first step in maximizing space within police headquarters. The space formerly utilized as the department’s garage is currently being converted into a new holding facility area. Relocating the new holding facility to the police station’s lower level will create a safer working environment for civilian employees and sworn officers and assist the department in complying with standards established by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA).
