Western Sydney has a new police station, with Wentworthville Police Station officially opened today by Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott, Commissioner of Police Mick Fuller and Member for Seven Hills Mark Taylor.
\nMr Elliott said the new $2.1 million facility is the fifth police station to be opened by the NSW Government since the 2019 March election.
\n\u201cFrom Taree to Sanctuary Point, the NSW Government continues to deliver on its election commitment to invest in police station infrastructure to support the vital work of our police men and women,\u201d Mr Elliott said.
\nThe Government has previously announced 76 extra police positions for the North West Metropolitan Region as part of its more than $583 million investment to deliver 1,500 new police over four years.
\nCommissioner Mick Fuller said the new station provides the local community with greater access to policing services in the area.
\n\u201cThis is an investment into the crime fighting capabilities in Sydney\u2019s north west.\u00a0 It gives the police in this command the support they need to drive down crime and keep the community safe,\u201d Commissioner Fuller said.
\nSuperintendent Julie Boon, Commander of Parramatta Police Area Command said the station is accessible to the community and allows for an expanded policing response to local area issues.
\n\u201cWentworthville Police Station now has an accessible front counter to better service the needs of the community and is fitted with the most advanced security,\u201d she said.
\nMr Taylor said how pleased he was to have the station in the heart of his community.
\n\u201cThe new police station at Wentworthville will increase and improve the access our community has, to both justice and safety, locally,” Mr Taylor said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
