Take a Virtual Tour of the Monroe Police Department

The town will have a meeting on Monday to discuss renovations to the police station

Missing ceiling tiles, exposed wires and female officers' lockers housed in a toilet stall are among the laundry list of problems a renovation to the Monroe Police Department is meant to address.

A $500,000 state grant was secured in 2002, but the project never got off the ground. Now the cost has been inflated by $750,000 and has an estimated $4.1 million price tag.

First Selectman Steve Vavrek listed the project among his priorities during the last budget process. A joint meeting on the needed renovations with the Town Council, Board of Finance, Board of Education, Planning & Zoning Commission and Police Commission is scheduled for Monday, June 13.
