FOUR years after it was closed in 2021, the San Rafael Police Station has been renovated and reopened. The $1 million project comes after years of pleas from residents to reopen the station.

Without giving statistics, acting Police Commissioner Junior Benjamin said one of the reasons the station was reopened was rising crime in the area after its closure. He said the reopened station includes upgrades which would assist the police in fighting crime.

“Upgrades were done to the very structure itself and the aesthetic as well to ensure that it is more comfortable. We added computers and other things to ensure we have the latest in terms of different facilities so that offices can be more comfortable and deliver good service to the residents,” he said at the reopening ceremony on April 16.
