New $16.2M Police Dept./Emergency Ops Center​ Grand Opening Set

NORTH BRANFORD, CT — A grand opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting for the Town’s new Police Department and Emergency Operations Center is set for Wednesday, July 17 at 9:30 a.m.

Construction began on the new $16.2 million facility in February 2023. Located at 305 Forest Road, across the street from the old police building and the entrance to the Town’s Public Works complex, the facility represents a cooperative effort between local, state, and federal authorities with $4.5 million in state funding and $1 million in federal EOC grant funds.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony where local, state, and federal officials, including U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-3) and State House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora (R-86), will be on hand to celebrate the new state-of-the-art facility.

The new building addresses the town’s change in population and policing that have occurred since the old station was put in service over 40 years ago.

Light refreshments will be served at the event.
