Please join us for the official dedication of the Joseph Pellicano Law Enforcement Center.

• October 10, 9 a.m. – noon 
• 250 W. NASA Boulevard, Melbourne

The construction of our new police station, the Joseph Pellicano Law Enforcement Center, has been a labor of love for several years. We, the officers and employees, are eagerly anticipating the move and the opportunities that come with working in a centralized, efficient, 21st-century police station. 

However, we are most grateful for the unwavering support and contributions from our community, without which this project would not have been possible. 

The new facility bears the name of Joseph Pellicano, an excellent officer and well-respected member of our law enforcement family who was killed in the line of duty on October 17, 1986. The Melbourne City Council named the new police facility to honor his sacrifice. 

The Ribbon Cutting and Open House event is open to all, and we sincerely hope that you will help us celebrate this momentous occasion.

About the Joseph Pellicano Law Enforcement Center

The Joseph Pellicano Law Enforcement Center is the new consolidated headquarters building of the Melbourne Police Department. It has been designed to function for decades to come and will allow for greater efficiency in operations, provide better service to the public and will improve the city’s ability to respond to disasters.

Six years ago, the citizens of Melbourne supported City Council’s vision to replace our two outdated, deteriorated buildings with a new a facility that would consolidate all police services under one roof. On November 6, 2018, they voted to approve financing the new police headquarters facility with general obligation bonds. 

This investment has enabled the City of Melbourne to construct a state-of-the-art building that has many benefits and features that will greatly improve our service to the community now and into the future.
