The Northville Township Emergency Dispatch Department, along with the police detective bureau officially moved into the new essential services complex last week.
The new complex, located on Traditions Drive off Seven Mile Road, is on property formerly occupied by the Northville Psychiatric Hospital which was demolished. The new, 96,000 square-foot public services building will be the cornerstone for enhanced public safety for Northville Township, officials said. The building will house the new police headquarters, Fire Station 2, a new Department of Public Works headquarters and a Northville Parks & Recreation Trailhead Building for Legacy Park, officials added.
The Northville Public Safety Dispatch officers handle all 911 calls as well as non-emergency calls for both Northville Township and the City of Northville. All the necessary equipment has been transferred to the new location.
Once construction progresses, the rest of the Police Department staff will shift to the new facility, officials said.
