Forfar Police Station closed due to health and safety concerns


The West High Street HQ has long-term structural issues and suffered significant storm damage in 2023, which would incur considerable costs to repair. The building has been subject to regular monitoring to ensure the safety and welfare of police, staff and the public.
And while front counter services for in-person enquiries has been maintained, the closest station in Angus for these is Arbroath although officers will still be on patrol in the town.
