Flashback From 1912 to the Modern Era!
Today we are taking a trip down memory lane to look back at the rich history of policing in our local community. Who remembers the old Auburn Police Station?
For nearly a century, our home base was located at 45 Rawson Street, right on the corner of Rawson Road and Station Road, Auburn. Serving the community from the early 1900s all the way through the
1990s, that historic brick station was packed with memories. It featured traditional holding cells, a bustling courtyard, and a large car park filled with demountable sections for our dedicated Detectives.
But did you know there was a major middle chapter in our journey? Before moving into our current home, Auburn Police actually operated from the Flemington Markets area for a significant period!
The bustling markets served as a vital operational hub for our officers, keeping our teams active and connected to the community during a time of immense local growth.
A brand-new chapter officially began when our current, state-of-the-art Auburn Police Station opened its doors on the corner of Queen Street and Susan Street in the year 2000. This purpose-built
facility has allowed our team of general duties officers, highway patrol, detectives, and crime prevention units to better adapt to the growing needs of our diverse area.
Whether you remember the vintage charm of the Rawson Street site, the busy days operating out of Flemington Markets, or only know our current home on Queen Street, our commitment to keeping Auburn safe and secure remains exactly the same.
We want to hear from you! Do you have any old photos or memories of working at or visiting the old stations?
