A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Dec. 12 for the new Bartlesville Police Department East-side Substation. The new substation is located on the Tri Couny Tech campus, 6101 S.E. Nowata Road.
The substation houses an east-side patrol division and a special operations division consisting of a training unit, traffic unit and an impact team. The station is needed to provide east-side residents with easier access to police services and reduced response times during emergencies. Up to 13 police officers will be on-shift at the facility at any given time.
