Halton Police set to Open New Oakville Station

The Halton Regional Police Service will be moving from the current Oakville 2 District police station to their new facility in north Oakville.
The new Oakville police station, located at 95 Oak Walk Drive, (South of Dundas, between Oak Park Boulevard and Sixth Line) will be open to the public on Monday March 8th, at 6:00 am. Persons wishing to attend the Oakville 2 District Station will be required to attend the new facility effective that date as the existing Whiteoaks Blvd station will be permanently closed.
