West Valley police officer Scott Folkers and his police dog Lily, a single-purpose human tracking dog, mingle with members of the public during the grand opening of the city’s police building on Tuesday. The 66,530-square-foot facility, 3575 Market St., is the first dedicated police building in the city’s history, bringing all aspects of police work under one roof. The station is part of a development called Fairbourne Station, which also includes a seven-story parking garage with a sky bridge connecting to nine-story office tower. According to the city, the 300,000-square-foot office tower, set to be completed mid-2020, will house various businesses with the potential of bringing in thousands of employees. The parking garage, which is more than 300,000 square feet, will have 1,390 parking stalls. The main floor will be used for retail space and restaurants.
