A final report on police facilities and conceptual designs for potential modifications and/or new builds are to be presented to both the Greater Sudbury police board and city council later this year, in time for 2024 budget deliberations
Greater Sudbury Police are inching closer toward securing new or renewed central headquarters, with the city opening an RFP for the drafting of a police facilities study.
“We need to know how many square feet we need, what kind of a building we need,” Sizer told Sudbury.com. “For example, horizontal is better than vertical for delivering the police services.” Although reports have been done on police facilities in the past, Sizer said the effort slated to take place this year is expected to offer the latest information and analyze current needs within the fast-changing police organization.
During last week’s board meeting, member Richard Bois said the new headquarters issue is “one of the most important items that the board will be looking at over the next year or two.” “The study will include a review of existing facilities, an evaluation of safety and operational aspects of buildings and an evaluation of current and future space requirements to house respective divisions of services.”
In 2016, the police board approved a plan to renovate the existing building at a cost of $18.4 million, which would have been completed in three years and extended its life for another 20 years. City council rejected the plan. In 2017, a new building was estimated to cost $55 million and last approximately 50 years. By 2019, the project was estimated to cost $65 million.
