In total, the new headquarters will house 480 officers and staff, and will be home to the control room – the first point of contact for 999 and 101 calls – alongside major crime teams, training functions, support services and senior management.
It’s a building purpose-built for modern policing, it is sustainable and offers a great space for our teams to work from, using the latest technology.
The new HQ is fit for purpose for the future and will be the home of Gwent Police for decades to come and will also be a pivotal location for policing and our partners now and in the future.
The office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent said the headquarters has been completed within its £32 million budget, and the cost has been covered by funds from the Police and Crime Commissioner’s reserves.
The building is expected to save more than £1 million in annual running costs.
It is more environmentally friendly than the current headquarters, helping the force towards achieving the aim for the Welsh public sector to be carbon neutral by 2030.
It also has been built with open communal spaces for staff with a focus on positive wellbeing.
A multi-storey car park for staff has also been built behind the new HQ.
