SASKATOON – The big move for Saskatoon police is set to start June 2.

Police Chief Clive Weighill told Global Saskatoon’s Morning News the communications centre is scheduled to move into the new headquarter that day.

“We want to make sure (the communication centre) is up and running properly before we shut the old one down,” said Weighill.

There have been delays moving into the new building.

Police were originally suppose to take over the building last fall and move in January, but that date was pushed back due to construction delays.

Then in February, frozen pipes on the rooftop ended up causing water damage to many parts of the building after fan coils burst.

Weighill said it’s possible they might be able to give some money back to the city at the end of the project due to the delay in moving into the new building.

“We’ve had in our budget money to operate that building up until now and since the builder still owns the building we haven’t had to pay operating costs.”

Weighill is aiming to have the opening ceremony at the new $122 million headquarters on June 27.
