Building Dedication

Dedication of our Facility...

Chief Bost passed away on March 30, 1997.   On May 23, 1999, the Town or Rockwell dedicated the  Rockwell Police Department facility and renamed it the Jim L. Bost Law Enforcement Center in memory of Jim and the commitment which he had given to his town and community.  Jim was very instrumental in the startup of the police department and its relocation to the present facility back in 1994.
