New Police Building Nearing Completion

Posted

The Rehoboth Police Department is getting a new facility to call home. Selectman Michael Costello said May 3 will be the “move-in” date. Last May, the Board of Selectmen authorized a payment to the town of Dartmouth for the purchase of a modular building for $225,000.

The funding for the expenditure was drawn from the Sale of Real Estate reserve account, which was established for the construction and improvement costs for the public safety building. Dartmouth had housed their police department in the modular unit for the past three years. The purchase also included all the furniture and light fixtures in the building.

The new facility will be 8000 square feet and will accommodate the needs of the police and fire departments, as well as ambulance operations. The current 2600 square feet facility at 334 Anawan Street has been criticized by officials for a shortage of space and poor health conditions.
