WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Police Department is closing one of its patrol stations due to poor conditions.

The WPD Southeast Patrol Station, 2451 College Road, will shutter as of Jan. 15. The building is reaching the end of its usable lifespan as a police department and is in the process of being vacated.

Employees based out of the College Road station are being moved throughout the city to better serve the public. Patrol officers are also partnering with Novant Health Company Police for additional workspace.

The public is also able to access resources online, previously handled in-person, through WPD’s virtual response unit. The public can also access crash reports and search police records on WPD’s P2C website.
