Construction work on the new Noro Police Station is progressing well and is expected to be completed by October, 2025.
Roselyn Maekera, Officer in Command at Noro Police Station, told Island Sun that the new building will house key departments, including the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Traffic Division and other support units.
She said the facility will also include holding cells for remanded suspects, strengthening law enforcement capacity in the growing township.
Maekera said the development will significantly improve police operations and visibility in Noro.
Noro Town Clerk, Gavin Totu, welcomed the project, saying the new station is a timely and much-needed investment for the community.
“This is one of the most important developments for Noro,” Totu said.
“As our town continues to grow, the need for more police presence to maintain peace and security becomes even more crucial.
“This new station will allow for more officers to be deployed and better serve our residents,” he said.
The new police station marks a significant step forward in ensuring law and order in Noro as the township evolves into a key urban and economic hub in Western Province.
Noro known locally as the “Tuna Town” accommodates people from all over the country who are employed by the tuna factory.
