The new strategy provides residents with a comprehensive vision for how well-placed police stations, hubs and touchdown points provide the right facilities for Wiltshire Police to work smarter, adapt to changing crime demand and, more importantly, provide greater visibility and reassurance in communities.
Main highlights include the planned investment of more than £100m over the next ten years which includes:
£90M investment to deliver the redevelopment of the Police Headquarters site in Devizes over the next decade, including the relocating of Devizes policing hub to the existing headquarters site, and to develop a new operational policing site, training facilities, and administrative office space.
£19M investment to deliver a new dedicated Policing hub in South of the County by 2028 - the PCC and CC have identified that the current arrangements for policing estate in the south are not meeting operational need. We continue to progress our location options, on with Old Sarum and High Post being our two most developed plans at present.This commitment to investment in facilities from the Police and Crime Commissioner is specifically designed to support the changes to the new operating model recently implemented by Chief Constable Roper to improve local policing services by providing a more consistent policing approach alongside increased proactive and visible policing within communities.
