Dixon – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) presented a $500,000 check to the City of Dixon for the Dixon Police Department’s 2nd Story Expansion. Rep. Thompson secured this funding in the government funding bill that was signed into law on March 9, 2024. Rep. Thompson was joined by Dixon Police Chief Robert Thompson, Mayor Steve Bird, City Councilman Thom Bogue, Councilman Jim Ernest, and City Treasurer Jim Ward.
“Our Dixon law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to keep our community safe,” said Thompson. “As Dixon grows, our Police Department needs more space to accommodate more staff and provide our law enforcement the space they need to effectively do their jobs. I am grateful Dixon leaders brought this project to my attention so that we could partner to bring this much-needed funding to our community and keep our neighborhoods safe.”
"Our profound gratitude goes to Congressman Thompson for securing a critical block grant, enabling the expansion of our police station to meet the needs of our growing city,” said Chief Robert Thompson. “This significant contribution not only underscores his commitment to public safety but also fortifies the foundation of our community's well-being."
The Dixon Police Department 2nd Story Expansion project will secure a second story expansion to Dixon Police Department building. The expansion would add approximately 3,650 square feet of space and accommodate up to approximately 20 staff. With the growth that the City of Dixon is currently experiencing, it is necessary to expand the Police force and provide the members of the Police Department with an efficient and productive department in which to complete their work.
This project is one of three projects Rep. Mike Thompson secured in Solano County for a total of $2,309,752 and $16,375,174 total for projects in California’s Fourth District.
