Bethel is about halfway through the building process for the new police station. 

If everything stays on schedule, the building will be closed up soon and work can be done on the interiors during the normal winter construction shut down period.  Windows are slated to arrive in the first week of  January.  While the foundation for the shooting range is done, the walls and ceiling will have to be completed in the Spring.  

The 26,000-square-foot building is twice the size of the existing station on Plumtrees Road. 

First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker told the Newstimes that since a $170,000 surprise, there haven't been any more unexpected costs.  Concrete slabs were found buried at the site , dumped there when the middle school was built about 25 years ago.  Debris from a burned Whittlesey farm barn was also found underground.
