The Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona will break ground today on a $20 million justice center.
The 75,000-square foot building will house the tribe's public safety department. The police force, detention centers, tribal courts and other programs will move there.
"It's huge because we can finally put a lot of the departments under one roof that can help members that are struggling in life become better,'' Chairman Peter Yucupicio told KVOA-TV. "That's the beauty of the center that will be built.''
The tribe received a grant from the Department of Justice.
