dulwich police station

Hi been in the area for 1 year now wondered what was happening to the police station, is it occupied and/or is it being converted/demolished

[SteveUK1978]

There were certainly a lot of police in and around there last week when I was out for a run so I would say it is in use still - even if the metal railings have been up around it the whole time I have lived in ED.

Occupied but not by the police who come out to ED - I think they come from Peckham station

I think it used to be a CID office (not sure about that one) - they used to house police horses there but sadly they were moved about a number of years ago

the railings and netting are because bits of the building fell off

there is a working police station at the front that you can walk into to report stuff I believe

ED

Police station is very much in use.

It is the base for the ED Safer Neighbourhood TEam and the Village ward SNT. It houses all the school liaison police staff for southern Southwark. Additionally 30 specials are based there but used in Peckham.

On a more asd hoc basis many Police units find it very handy with its own underused parking to pop i. It currently houses a couple of specialist units while thier offices are refurbished.

SO we have a lot of Police officers coming and going which helps ensure quick response times in our patch to incidents.

It has a front desk which is meantot be open 6am-10pm each day.

So it's being used, but not really as a traditional police station.

Is this a temporary arrangement, or long term?
