Facebook To Fund Menlo Park Police Officer At New Substation In Belle Haven

The Facebook police? Not quite, but the social network reached an agreement with the Menlo Park (Calif.) City Council to pay $200,000 per year for at least three years to station a full-time Menlo Park police officer at the city’s upcoming substation in Belle Haven, which is located just a few-hundred yards from the site of the company’s West Campus expansion, currently under construction.

The Palo Alto Daily News reported that the agreement could possibly be extended for another two years, adding that Facebook has already committed to giving the city of Menlo Park more than $215,000 toward the rent for the new substation, which is scheduled to open in April in a storefront space at Hamilton Avenue and Willow Road.
