The new building, located in the old Tauton Press building, was started on Nov. 18, 2019, just a year from the move-in date.
The new 25,000-square-foot building cost $15 million and came in under budget. The building is almost three times the size of the older one, making it easier for officers to do their jobs.
It features a larger, modern communications and dispatch center as well as a gym and locker room for officers.
Newtown Police Chief James Viadero told News 12, the town's new police headquarters is a huge upgrade from the small space the force was in down the street since the late '70s.
