🚨 Air Quality Concerns at La Marque Police Department 🚨
The recent findings on the air quality inside the La Marque Police Department are deeply concerning. Mold was identified, but that’s the least of the issues. Rumors point to asbestos being present, along with an alarming amount of dead skin cells circulating throughout the building. While we have not yet reviewed the official report, CLEAT has submitted an open records request to obtain it.
The safety of our officers, civilian staff, and the citizens who utilize the Police Department every day must remain the top priority.
These findings only reinforce what we’ve been saying for years: La Marque needs a new Police Department. We understand the City’s financial struggles, but leadership must find a way forward. The timing may not be ideal, but the time is now.
Currently, staff is scattered across the city, with Dispatch even having to rely on another agency’s facility. Add to this a city-wide hiring freeze, which has halted recruiting efforts—we now face the risk of losing seasoned officers to other agencies.
Bottom line: this situation is not only unsafe but also embarrassing for both the Police Department and the City as a whole.
We remain hopeful that La Marque can come together, work through these challenges, and do what’s right for the safety of our employees, citizens, and community.
