The new Prince Albert Police downtown sub-station is officially open.

Officers and staff marched earlier today (Tuesday) to the new location at 40-10th Street East from their 15th Street West headquarters.

The substation has 15-thousand square feet of expanded office and training space accommodating several departments as well as a large gym.

Chief Jonathan Bergen says the substation’s functional design falls in line with their commitment to community policing and building relationships with residents.

The building cost 340-thousand dollars and just over 600-thousand dollars was budgeted for renovations.
