The Frisco Police Department (FPD) has announced the grand opening of its new FPD Annex this coming week. The community is invited to attend "Coffee with the Mayor" on May 10, which will kickstart a morning full of activities running from 8 to 10 am, including building tours and Q&A sessions with the FPD staff.
According to the Frisco Police Department, the event promises to not only unveil the new department wing but also to showcase a variety of departmental equipment to the public. In the same breath meant to be informational, citizens will have the unprecedented chance to get to know the officers who patrol their streets outside the intensity of emergency calls or traffic stops.
Don't forget to join us on May 10 for Coffee with the Mayor followed by the grand opening of the new FPD Annex. Running from 8 to 10am, there will be tours of the new building, personnel on-hand to answer questions, and displays of equipment from around the department. pic.twitter.com/fLKa6ogqe5

The FPD Annex, a project aimed at enhancing law enforcement capabilities within the growing city, will now house part of the operations that underpin the community's safety. Officials expect it will serve as a hub for both administrative and community service functions. While details about the annex's specific roles and features are sparse, the open house event should provide some transparency about the day-to-day operations and strategic tools used by the FPD.
Alongside the ribbon-cutting ceremony, personnel have been said will be on hand, ready to answer questions that citizens might have about their work or the new facilities. Such direct engagement events, the department hopes, will foster stronger community bonds and provide a level of accessibility and openness that demystifies police work. Meanwhile, fans of law enforcement machinery will delight as displays of departmental equipment will be peppered throughout the tours.
The event on May 10 offers a rare opportunity for the Frisco locals to engage with their city leaders and police force in a setting that's more conversational than confrontational. Be sure to join them at the FPD Annex on what's shaping up to be an enlightening morning for community-police relations in Frisco.
