'It's been a team effort': Police Minister explains benefits of new police base location

The Government says it's chosen a strategically good location for its new Auckland CBD police station.

The Federal Street facility should be completed mid-2025, and will have 51 beat officers. 

The College Hill station will continue its operations - and the old Vincent Street premises are still up for sale.  

Police Minister Mark Mitchell says centralised police stations in the past were great.

"I think the Federal Street option is just such a good option - it's centralised, our beat officers are covering the entire CBD, the feedback and anecdotal feedback has been just fantastic."
