The Abbotsford Police Department headquarters expansion and renovation was completed in September, bringing an end to a project that began in 2022. The work combined a four-storey addition with renovations to the existing building.
The City reports a total project cost of $83.65 million. It says the updated facility provides more functional space for officers and civilian employees and capacity for a growing community.
The completion is a significant municipal infrastructure milestone, although a new building alone does not establish changes in crime or police response times. Those outcomes would need to be assessed separately using public performance information.
