Police station to remain open

The Woy Woy police station will remain open, according to Peats MP Marie Andrews.

"There is definitely no truth in the rumour that Woy Woy Police Station will close," she said.

The Wov Woy Police Station was recently upgraded with funding from the State Government of more than $350,000.

Improvements include a new inquiry counter and office, public waiting and interview rooms; new gun and other storage facilities; new charge room with three holding docks, and a prisoner toilet.

A new Breath Analysis Section (BAS) room has been provided, together with electronic equipment to record interviews in a suspected persons' (ERISP) room.

Staff locker rooms and toilets have been renovated and an enclosed dock provided for police vans.

Facilities have been improved to provide safe handling of people in custody.

"Having undergone this major upgrade, the Woy Woy Police Station is now better equipped to handle inquiries from the public and also people in custody."

"The upgrade has resulted in providing improved working conditions for police officers and staff.

"The Woy Woy Peninsula is a densely populated area and it is imperative there is a police station in that location.

"There is certainly no intention by the New South Wales Police Service to close this vital police station," Ms Andrews said.
