THE new Rosewood Police Station was officially opened by the Police Minister Mark Ryan last week.
The $4.4 million station will serve 15,000 residents and will accommodate eight general duties officers, with an additional three positions to be added.
“As Rosewood and its surrounding areas experience significant growth, it is vital that we continue to invest in infrastructure that supports community safety,” Mr Ryan said.
