By: Chris Miller(KUTV) Salt Lake City officials, along with law enforcement and firefighters, threw a party Thursday night at the new Public Safety Building at 500 South and 300 East. Police officers took KUTV on a tour of the old building and the new building, showing strong contrasts in size, energy and amenities. Law enforcement and emergency crews will begin moving into the new building by August 1, and expect to be fully operational by early September. The old building will slowly be shut down as units move out. Left behind in the old building will be water leaks, crowded work spaces and elevators that occasionally break down. The new building features modern design, advanced energy efficiency, hundreds of extra square feet and plenty of bonus features that have cops and firefighters thrilled for the transition. The new Public Safety Building will feature a gun cleaning station, k-9 kennel, indoor garage for patrol motorcycles, and separate wings for police and emergency crews - joined in the middle by a multi-media emergency control center. Police say the new building will allow them to better and more effectively fight crime.(Copyright 2013 Sinclair Broadcasting Group.)
