THANK YOU WILTON!!!
Your overwhelming support (>76% of the vote!) of a new building
for the Wilton Police Department is tremendously appreciated!
Following many "next steps" (that include Planning & Zoning approval, Architectural Review Board approval, the production of construction documents, the bidding process and contract executions),
it is estimated that construction would start in spring 2023 and last approximately 14-20 months
(not including any potential materials and supply chain issues)
allowing for occupancy of the new building in 2024.

WHY WAS A NEW BUILDING RECOMMENDED
FOR THE WILTON POLICE DEPARTMENT?
FOR THE WILTON POLICE DEPARTMENT?
The Wilton Police Department headquarters was built in 1974 for an all male police force and one dispatcher who used pen, paper, one typewriter and two telephone lines. Today the building must accommodate a much larger number of officers and civilian staff (male AND female), a much larger amount of evidence and equipment and a plethora of technology that could hardly be imagined almost five decades ago. Although renovation and expansion were a topic of discussion for over 25 years, none occurred. But in 2019, after significant study, the Police-Town Hall Building Committee recommended new construction for the WPD.
