Proposed Falmouth Police Station Gets 2nd Community Forum

FALMOUTH, MA — A second community outreach forum on the topic of Falmouth's proposed new police station is set for the end of the month.

Falmouth will host the forum on Oct. 28 to review the site selection process and solicit community input on the proposed site at 484 Brick Kiln Rd., officials said.

The community forum will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Middle School Auditorium located at 113 Lakeview Ave.

Representatives of the Police Station Advisory Committee, Police Department, as well as the owner’s project manager (OPM) and architect, will provide a presentation to review the concept-level designs and site selection process.

Following the presentation, the public will be invited to ask questions and provide input on the site selection and conceptual designs, officials said.

“This is the second community outreach forum addressing the proposal for replacing the undersized police station with a state of the art facility,” said Town Manager Mike Renshaw. “We welcome the opportunity to inform community members of the comprehensive review of potential sites the Police Station Advisory Committee conducted with our Police Department command staff, Town staff and consulting professionals.”

The primary focus of this forum is to solicit input on site selection, officials said.

A request for funds to continue the design process from schematic design through construction bidding will be considered at the Town Meeting on Nov. 17. The proposed timeline calls for Town Meeting consideration of construction funds in the fall of 2026.

Information related to this project will be posted on the Police Station Advisory Committee website as it becomes available, officials said.
