It's out of the old and in to the new for officers of the Nipissing West OPP this week.
Construction of the new detachment building is now complete at the new location, 880 Levac Road, Cache Bay.
Tomorrow, (Tuesday) operations will be moving from 216 John Street in Sturgeon Falls to the new location.
"During this transition there will be no interruption or reduction of policing services in the community," says a news release.
The new location will be open from 8:15 a.m. - 4:15 p.m. Monday to Friday for administrative functions including criminal record checks.
"Citizens can expect the same high level of policing by Nipissing West OPP members from this modern, new policing facility," says Constable Robert Lewis. "The detachment has been outfitted with advanced technology and state-of-the-art policing equipment to ensure officers have the tools and space they require to provide residents with modern, cost-effective, and high-quality police services."
At the same time the Warren OPP location will no longer have administrative personnel available at that location. Administrative functions, including criminal record checks, will be completed out of the new location.
Telephone numbers will remain the same.
For emergencies, dial 9-1-1, and for non-emergent police matters dial 1-888-310-1122. Controlled access to the new Nipissing West Detachment will be in place in order to protect the public and detachment personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
