Frontline police officers are set to move to a new base in Leighton Buzzard.
The force’s community policing team is to start making the move to Bossard House over the coming weeks as the new policing facility in West Street begins to take shape.
Addressing concerns raised by local residents, Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Festus Akinbusoye worked with Chief Constable Trevor Rodenhurst to secure the new facility to help increase the police presence in the town.
Patrol officers who respond to 999 calls are now able to work from Bossard House between jobs to complete administrative tasks, reducing the need for officers to drive back to either Dunstable or Luton.
Though there are no plans for the site itself to be open to the public, the PCC has funded a new public service terminal that will be placed at Leighton Buzzard Library in the coming weeks.
