City of Milford to Cut Ribbon on New Police Department

 

The City of Milford is excited to announce the completion of the new Police Department located at 401 NE Front St., Milford and invite the public to a ribbon cutting and guided tours on Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 10am.  Public Open Houses will also be held on Wednesday, Dec. 13, 1-5pm and Thursday, Dec. 14, 4-8pm.

 

“In today's climate of negativity that surrounds law enforcement, it is important to show police officers that we care and recognize the daily sacrifices they and their families make,” said Cecilia Ashe, Milford Chief of Police.  “Looking at this amazing building, I can’t think of a bigger sign of appreciation by the citizens of Milford.”

 

City of Milford residents voted in favor of a new police station referendum in January 2021, realizing the City’s public safety needs had outgrown the existing facility, constructed in 1978 opposite the new facility.

 

The new Milford Police Department is located at 401 NE Front Street. Overflow parking for the ribbon cutting and open houses is available behind the building.
