Refurbishment works are under way on Broadmeadows police station and are on track to be completed in August this year.
The Dimboola Road station is undergoing a $1.5 million extension to accommodate more police officers in Hume.
Work on the station started in February. The upgrades include increased locker room and muster room space, a new interview room, areas for transit and protective services officers, installation of a lift, new doors and improved supervision capacity for police cells.
But it’s business as usual for the Broad- meadows police team, which is operating from a mobile facility as building proceeds.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the public could attend the temporary, on-site office for inquiries or assistance.
The station’s phone number, 9302 8322, is unchanged.
Police Minister Kim Wells said the works were part of a wider program to upgrade stations across the state to accommodate an extra 1700 frontline police and 940 protective services officers by November.
“As part of the 2014-15 budget, the Coalition government will invest more than $77 million in new police station facilities and equipment upgrades as part of its commitment to reducing crime,” Mr Wells said.
