HERTFORD'S new state-of-the-art police station was unveiled on Monday, in a move to put policing "back in the centre of town".
The hi-tech, £46 million project boasts up to date IT support, a confidential witness room and a 'reflection room' which will house a prayer mat, religious texts and a compass to allow Muslim staff members to pinpoint Mecca. (this is a jail, right?-ed.)
After the formal opening of the Hale Road station by Yasmin Batliwala, Chair of the Hertfordshire Police Authority, the Herald was taken on a tour of the site, by safer neighbourhoods Inspector Diane Watson.
The opening ceremony was attended by Hertfordshire's Chief Constable Frank Whitely and East Herts' top cop Chief Inspector Jon Speed, who described the new building as: "A great move forward in terms of policing in Hertford."
