Slidell Police Headquarters Project Moves Ahead On Robert Boulevard

City Records Show New Headquarters And Jail Facility Planned On City-Owned Site As Work Nears

The long-discussed effort to replace Slidell’s aging police headquarters is moving forward, with city records pointing to a new police headquarters and jail facility on Robert Boulevard.

Public records from the City of Slidell show the City Council backed construction of a new police headquarters on a city-owned tract along Robert Boulevard, south of the Fountain Estates subdivision. Later planning records identified the project site as 911 Robert Blvd. and described it as a new police headquarters and jail facility.

The move would shift police operations from the department’s current headquarters at 2112 Sgt. Alfred St., a site city officials have said no longer fits the department’s long-term needs.

City planning and council documents show the project has advanced in stages over the past two years. In June 2024, the council adopted a resolution supporting a new headquarters. In early 2026, city agendas and planning materials reflected continued work on the site, including annexation and zoning actions tied to nearby property at 1450 Gause Blvd. W. and design review materials for the Robert Boulevard facility.

An April 2026 City Council agenda packet indicated groundbreaking for the new police station should happen soon, although the city record surfaced in search results did not give a firm start date. The city had also previously moved to line up financing, including a 2024 resolution tied to up to $19.82 million in revenue bonds and an earlier sales tax measure dedicated to police department operations, equipment, salaries, benefits, and capital improvements.

NOLA.com reported the new headquarters project at about $17.6 million. Slidell city records reviewed for this story independently confirm the site, the city’s support for the project, related financing actions, and that the new complex is planned to include a small jail facility.

Why This Matters In Slidell

A new police headquarters is a major public infrastructure project for Slidell. Beyond replacing an older facility, the project affects how police services are housed, where detainees are processed, and how the city plans future public safety spending. Its Robert Boulevard location also places the project near one of the city’s major east-west corridors, with potential implications for nearby neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and future development in that part of Slidell.
