Tottenham Police Station has reopened to the public having been closed for refurbishments since July.
Since closing, the entire station was renovated with multiple changes made to the front office. A new disabled access ramp was installed outside to allow easier access for the public, while a new photography collage featuring Alexandra Palace and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been installed inside.
The police station will home the Local Safer Neighbourhood team, the Community team and the Roads Transport team for Haringey.
Chief Inspector Waterfield, who led the renovation, said: “Tottenham Police station has been at the forefront of the community within Haringey and has been in existence since around 1914. We are looking forward to many future years of serving the public in Haringey.
“The station [will] also act as a place of safety for anyone who wants to come in and speak to the police.”
The temporary front office at Wood Green Custody Centre is now closed. Tottenham Police Station will be the borough’s only station to provide a 24/7 front office counter for the public to report crime.
Crimes can also be reported online via www.met.police.uk or on the phone via 101 or 999 in the case of an emergency. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Update (21st Dec):
Councillor Adam Jogee, cabinet member for economic development, jobs and community cohesion, said: “Like many local people, I welcome the news of the reopening and refurbishment of Tottenham Police Station. It is so important that this vital resource is open and ready to serve residents.
“It will give local people piece of mind that they can report a crime and get help here in the community.
“As cabinet member for community cohesion, I am determined to ensure our streets are safe and secure for the community, and we will continue to work with the police to make Haringey a safer place to live, learn and work.”
