Windsor Police Department moves into new building

The Windsor Police Department moved into its new facility at 960 N. 15th St. earlier this month. The larger building offers modern facilities and more space for the growing police department.

The department's old building at 200 N. 11th St. closed to the public on Aug. 2 and the new building opened to the public on Aug. 7, according to a city news release.

Construction of the 4,000 square meter facility began last August and was completed this summer, several months ahead of schedule.

The new facility is nearly three times the size of the department's old 15,000-square-foot building and will accommodate 52 sworn officers and 13 civilian employees, according to the release. The new headquarters will provide more space for the growing department, include multiple training areas, a large multi-purpose conference room and state-of-the-art evidence review and processing facilities.
