An angular, stone relic, The Columbia Police Headquarters now stands as monument to the near-authoritarian rule of Columbia’s elite. Looming over the City Center with its forty stories, most of the force’s power structure has been consolidated within its walls. Its first five floors constitute the city’s largest jail, with the further floors housing accounting offices, Patrol Services, Transit & Housing, Special Operations, Homicide, the Detectives Bureau, and the Internal Affairs respectively. The top floor is dedicated to the office of the Police Chief, Wayne LaRue, and administrative support offices.
