Sacramento Hospital's Final Farewell May Be As Police Training Ground

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — An iconic Sacramento hospital may get a final farewell as a training ground for police before it's torn down.

Families who live around the Sutter Memorial Hospital were warned on Wednesday that they may see police exercises there this month.

They've huddled up, watching the plans develop. Families were front and center for their neighborhood's big change—the day the iconic Sutter Memorial Hospital is finally torn down.

"They actually incorporated everything that we liked, about different parts of Sacramento," said Dan Hoody.

Now there's a chance before the teardown that Sutter Memorial may be getting one more use. The Sacramento Police may use it for training exercises this month.

The developer sent an alert out to East Sacramento families through a social-media post.

The police department says it has no specific training dates yet.
