Seaside police continue service following flooding in department

The Seaside Police Department is continuing regular service inside of a trailer, after the entire Seaside Police building was flooded earlier this month.

The department announced the station had flooded Dec. 8 and there was significant damage to the building.

“This will not affect public safety in anyway,” read a statement on social media.

The main station is closed until further notice, and the police are currently operating out of a trailer next to the Seaside Library.

“We will continue to provide updates as we navigate this situation,” a statement read.

The flooding at the station happened about a week before the recent storm hit Seaside, bringing powerful winds and causing power outages, downed trees and ponding on roads. It’s unclear if the Seaside Police Department building sustained any more damage during that time.
