New District One Police Station opens
Mayor Allen Joines and members of the City Council celebrated the completion of the new District One Police Station with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
The new police station is at 7836 North Point Boulevard, between the Post Office and the Crossland Hotel. It houses the complete patrol functions for Police District One, which covers 45 square miles, including downtown and the northwest third of Winston-Salem north of Robinhood Road and west of U.S. 52 and Old Walkertown Road. It is also capable of housing other police personnel as needed to better serve the community.
The $3.46 million building is the second of three district police stations voters approved in the November 2014 bond referendum. The other two are the currently open station on Waughtown Street and a future station near the corner of Stratford Road and Somerset Drive.
