Halton Police Are Building a Brand New Station to Replace Milton's 12 Division — What You Need to Know

A major upgrade is underway for policing infrastructure in the Milton and Halton Hills area, with Halton Regional Police Service constructing a new, modern station to replace the division that has served Milton residents since 1997.

What Happened

According to information published by the Halton Regional Police Service, a new 66,000 square-foot police station is being built near the intersection of Steeles Avenue and Sixth Line South in Halton Hills, just north of Highway 401. The address of the new facility is 7930 Hornby Road, Halton Hills.

The new station is being constructed to support policing services for residents of Milton and Halton Hills starting in 2026. When completed, it will replace the current 1 District 12 Division station located at 490 Childs Drive in Milton, which was built in 1997.

Key Details

• The new station will be 66,000 square feet in size

• Located at 7930 Hornby Road, Halton Hills, near Steeles Ave and Sixth Line South

• Replaces 12 Division at 490 Childs Drive, Milton — in service since 1997

• The facility will serve both Milton and Halton Hills communities

• Construction is underway with the facility expected to support operations beginning in 2026

Community Impact

For Milton residents, this development means the local police division responsible for the community will be operating from a modern, purpose-built facility. The updated station is expected to improve how police services are delivered to one of the fastest-growing communities in Ontario. Residents should be aware that the physical location of the local police division will eventually change from the current Childs Drive address.

Background

Halton Regional Police Service polices one of the most rapidly expanding municipalities in Canada. Milton's population growth has placed increased demands on public safety infrastructure, and this new station is part of the service's broader effort to keep pace with that growth.
