Local officials including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and outgoing police Chief William Bratton are scheduled to open the gleaming 10-story, $437 million downtown structure Saturday morning. The so-called Police Administration Building will replace Parker Center four blocks away. The 1955 facility has outlived its service life and is likely to be demolished. Voters in 2002 approved a bond measure for new police facilities, and construction began on the new headquarters in 2007. The new building features a broad glass front police say represents a new era of transparency for a department once resistant to public scrutiny. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
