"There are a lot of safety features in the new building we don't have now," said Sgt. John Slursarz
"Space is really important. We will have more interview space and more active cells," said Sgt. David Nemecek
"The old building was inadequate," said First Selectman And Police Commissioner Peter Tesei "There will be more storage for evidence and more room to take prisoners."
The Story:
The doors of the police department's new headquarters could open as early as July, building officials said, pleasing news for town officials and police officers tired of the current outdated facility.....
....Ridberg also noted how the new building will enable the department to hold training classes and other functions at its own facilities, something the current building does not permit....
....Officials said the biggest task in moving will be transferring the radio system. The police department has budgeted $868,000 to coordinate the move of the system, officials said.
