HONORING THE CITY OF O'FALLON, MISSOURI FOR THEIR NEWLY OPENED JUSTICE 
                                 CENTER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 22, 2018

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the City of 
O'Fallon, Missouri for their newly opened Justice Center.
   The Justice Center will allow for the police station and municipal 
court to better serve the O'Fallon community. When the O'Fallon city 
hall was originally built in 1999, it was expected to last nearly three 
decades. As the population of the City of O'Fallon grew, however, it 
became clear that a new complex was needed. This new center is expected 
to meet the needs of the Saint Louis metro's second largest city for 
decades to come.
   At 80,000 square feet, the center will undoubtedly improve 
O'Fallon's legal system as it gives officers, investigators, and 
lawyers an excellent place to continue serving their community. For our 
law enforcement, it houses a state-of-the-art 911 communications 
center, an indoor firing range, and a training complex that allows law 
enforcement personnel to improve their marksmanship and decision-making 
ability. The Justice Center also includes an updated courtroom with 
ample space for viewing litigation and trial information. With this new 
courtroom and multiple holding cells, more dockets can be held and the 
court process will become even more efficient.
   Please join me in congratulating the O'Fallon community on the new 
Justice Center and thanking the men and women who now work there for 
keeping our communities safe.
