Henrico Police are getting some new digs in the Far West End. The county has signed two leases for field offices in the West End. One of them is in the West Broad Village development. The burden on taxpayers? A mere dollar per year, according to officials.

The new office will provide space for officers to work and foster a community presence, as well as to help forge bonds and discussions with neighbors.

The office will complement the nightly police presence already put into place after a shooting in the parking lot near Dave & Buster’s in May of 2009.

All utilities at the new offices will be covered by the landlord. The space should be open in about a month.

The second location is in the Laurel Park shopping center off Woodman Road.
