With the recent announcement of the building of a new North Precinct Station, officers could breathe a sigh of relief, as their current building was built to house a staff of 154 and is badly overcrowded with a staff of 254. This new station is being designed to accommodate up to 370 officers and staff.Â
Everything is relative though, a mere 33 years ago the 1981 Annual Report was all agog with the plans for the current precinct, which was built in 1984. Â
The North Precinct officers of 1981 were right to be excited. Â Until that time they had been housed in a small and very old Wallingford building that they shared with the Fire Department. Â The building still has life today as the 45th Street Clinic. Â (Photo Rob Ketcherside Flickr)
