On Friday March 18, 2011 the new Mountain View precinct located at 2075 E. Maryland St. was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony. This state of the art police facility will replace the old Squaw Peak precinct station when it goes completely operational next week. Ceremony attendees along with numerous members of the media were then allowed to tour the facilites. The new facility follows along the same design of the Estrella Mountain and Black Mountain precincts.
