BRANT COUNTY - The ribbon has officially been cut at the brand new OPP detachment in Brant County.
Several dignitaries were on hand for the ceremony on Tuesday at the new location at 67 Bethel Road in Brant. Mayor David Bailey says it's great to see this project completed.
“We are so pleased the Brant OPP have officially moved into the new detachment building and are ready to serve the public from their new locatio. This project has been in the works for many years and it’s wonderful to see it come to fruition.”
Moving from Mechanic Street in Paris to the corner of Rest Acres Road and Bethel road will provide officers with easier access to more communities in the County. When planning a new detachment building, the County, in collaboration with the OPP, considered a number of factors including finding the right location and a design that allows for flexible use of space for now and in the future.
Chair of the Police Services Board Jennifer Haley says they are excited about the new building.
“On behalf of the Brant County Police Services Board, we would like to thank County Council for their investment in a new detachment building for the Brant OPP. Careful planning has paid off and we are so pleased the Brant OPP have a new home base that will meet their needs now and in the future to better serve residents.”
Brant OPP Detachment Commander Lisa Anderson adds that as the population throughout the County of Brant continues to grow, OPP services will continue to adapt as well.
“I want to thank everyone involved in the planning and implementation of this project. Our members are very appreciative for this investment in community safety.”
A Grand Opening event will be planned in spring 2021, depending on the public safety requirements related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The new Brant OPP Detachment Building is now open to the public.
