Runshaw College's former Chorley campus will be transformed
Runshaw College's former Chorley campus is set to be turned into a new policing base, Police and Crime Commissioner Andrew Snowden has announced. The new base will serve communities across the area, and will replace the existing dated and not fit for purpose station.It is also intended to be used as a new training campus for the Constabulary as part of the ongoing major recruitment drives into policing.
The Commissioner said: "I'm delighted to announce the acquisition of the Runshaw College site to invest in a new policing base for the Chorley area and as part of a wider investment in training and development infrastructure for the force. "Following my campaign to end degree only entry into policing, the Home Secretary has recently announced that other entry routes will reopen, a decision both I and the Chief Constable welcome wholeheartedly.
“It will also provide a dedicated, modern campus to train our future officers and equip them with the skills they need to fight crime, support victims and keep our communities across Lancashire safe.”
