Outremont police station temporarily relocates near Namur Metro

Montreal police stations 24 and 26 will be merging as one as of Jan. 14.

The temporary measure will allow for major repair work on station 24, located across from the Outremont Metro station.

According to officials, the “PDQ 26 will house approximately 150 police officers, 50 school crossing guards and four civilian employees.”

Montreal police assure their community services will not be affected. Officers will continue to focus on their respective districts, covering Côte-des-Neiges, Outremont and the Town of Mount Royal (TMR).
