Kyle Police Chief Jeff Barnett talks to his department in the training/briefing room. After about $120,000 in renovations, which included new permanent walls, painting, re-staining of wood and cabinetry, replacing fixtures and appliances, running electrical outlets, sealing the roof and outer perimeter of the building and bringing in new modular furniture, among other things, the police department is now operating out of their new headquarters, next door to city hall. Barnett said he’s “extremely thankful to the mayor and council, the city manager and the assistant city manager for all their help and support.” He said he’s “very proud” of his department and “excited” to work out of a building that’s better equipped to address the needs of a growing city.
