The Oxford Police Department has officially moved to a new headquarters.

The new station is located at 9 Industrial Park Drive.

“We are thrilled to be able to call this beautiful new facility home,” said Chief Jeff McCutchen. “We are deeply appreciative of Mayor Tannehill and the Board of Aldermen for their unwavering support and leadership in making this vision a reality.”

The new facility brings together all of OPD’s departments under one roof, enhancing efficiency and collaboration.

“Previously, our teams operated from multiple locations across the city, which posed logistical challenges,” McCutchen said.

While the address has changed, McCutchen said OPD’s commitment to serving the community with wisdom, compassion, and excellence remains steadfast.

“This state-of-the-art facility empowers us to better meet the evolving needs of our community while continuing to provide the highest standard of public safety services,” he said.

In 2021, the Oxford Board of Aldermen approved a plan to turn the former Oxford Enterprise Center into a new police headquarters to help accommodate the rapid growth of the department.

The current OPD building on Molly Barr Road will be turned into office space for other city offices.

The new, $12 million OPD building is 40,000 square feet and features a large dispatch area, dedicated spaces for victim services, including a conference room and playroom for children, a training building, and a coffee shop-styled patrol area with flexible workstations.
