Peel Regional Police are closing the police station at Meadowvale Town Centre, saying it “was no longer being used to its potential.”

The station, which will shut its doors for the final time June 30, represents an ongoing trend by Peel police in closing community police stations in an effort to improve efficiency and better meet community needs, according to police.

The force closed four stations — Erin Mills and Lakeshore in Mississauga, Springdale and Queen Street in Brampton — in 2012.

Back in February 2010, Peel Police shut six of their stations: Dixie Bloor, Clarkson, Streetsville and Cooksville in Mississauga, and two in Brampton.

The closure of the Meadowvale station came after a review was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the community stations that support the operational divisions throughout the region.

Three officers and one civilian who worked out of the station will be reassigned to other areas within the organization.

“The closure of this station will not affect services provided by the operational divisions. Residents and business owners will continue to have convenient access to police service at our divisions, community stations, in person, online or via telephone twenty four hours per day,” police said in a release, encouraging Mississauga and Brampton residents to report non-emergency incidents online at www.peelpolice.ca.

Police Chief Jennifer Evans said the police force is continually examining how it delivers service to the region.

“We seek ways to enhance public safety, mindful of our commitment to fiscal responsibility,” she said in a statement. This redeployment of staff helps achieve our mission of providing innovative and effective policing to ensure a safe environment to live, work and visit.”
