"...Council will also hear from the Deer Park Police Department concerning memorial plaques in Heritage Park, on the grounds of the Municipal Courts/Theater Building. The city's former proposed firing range site on East X Street contained a monument recognizing that location as the Kenneth Gage Firing Range in honor of former Police Chief Kenneth Gage. It is proposed the monument be relocated to Heritage Park in the front of the Courts and Theatre Building, in an area adjacent to several trees that have been planted there in honor of deceased police department employees.
The Deer Park Police Department Law Enforcement Training Facility, along with the Don H. Davis Fire Training Facility are located at 102 Luella Avenue.
