The Central Bucks Regional Police Department has traded its cramped Doylestown office for a spacious new one. Christopher Dornblaser reported on the additional elbow room in the Bucks County Courier Times.

The former site was tight, especially for resources covering three boroughs. Clerical staff huddled near the computer server; visitors had scant seating; detectives were housed elsewhere.

Now, however, the $4 million new building keeps everyone under the same roof, strengthens community connections, and eliminates inefficiencies.

The project had a long timeline. Delays included the wait for former tenant PennDOT to vacate. Construction didn’t begin until January 2021, seven years after Doylestown law enforcement officers merged with those of New Britain and Chalfont Boroughs.

Police Chief Karl Knott said the building’s ability to house all facets of police work is significant convenience.

“This has just been a godsend,” he said.
