Police department facility deficiencies

Bedford

Summary

Bedford's police have worked out of a retrofitted 1994 printing-company building with no security, terrible parking, and closets converted to offices. The chief says they've been out of space for years and wants a location on the Route 101 corridor, but no plan has stuck.
