Milford Police Department ribbon cutting set Dec. 12

The City of Milford announced the completion of its new police department building at 401 NE Front St., Milford.

The public is invited to a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, followed by guided tours. Public open houses will also be held from 1 to 5 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 13,  and 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 14.

“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 to approve 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.

Overflow parking for the ribbon cutting and open houses is available behind the new building.
