Columbus Police Substation Opens February

Columbus is set to unveil its newest police substation in the Hilltop neighborhood this February — a sleek, $14.4 million upgrade seven times larger than its 60-year-old predecessor. Located at 1860 Sullivant Avenue, the modern facility will house 80–85 officers and feature community-focused amenities like a 49-person conference room (dual-use storm shelter), a compassionate “soft” interview room, and a quiet space for nursing moms and officers needing decompression. Designed to foster deeper police-community ties, it’s part of the city’s strategy behind its 30-year low in violent crime. The final beam, signed by officials and blessed with a small evergreen and flag, honors Scandinavian tradition — a nod to gratitude, safety, and hope for a flawless build.
