In the summer of 2025, Baltimore County will break ground on a new Wilkens Police Precinct. As construction gets underway on the 34,000-square-foot, new public safety facility, the existing precinct building will remain open and continue to serve the community. The older building will be demolished upon the completion of the newly-constructed building. The new, community-centered precinct will modernize public safety services. The new precinct represents an investment in community policing and especially the recruitment and retention of officers.
