This is not manned 24/7, and is quite a new building. It is 'Hardy-Plank' clad, single storey, with a long ramp running up the front of it to the front (sliding) door. As it is not manned all the time, there is a call button on the southern side of the entry, to get further assistance.

It was opened on Tuesday, 27th November, 2007. The bronze plaque reads:

"SWIFTS CREEK POLICE STATION
was Officially Opened by

The Hon. Bob Cameron
Minister for Police & Emergency Services

on Tuesday 27th November, 2007

Paul Evans, APM
Assistant Commissioner of Police

[As I was about to drive away after writing down some details, the local constable stopped by to make sure that I was okay. He had heard only about geocaching, so I 'updated' him a bit about Waymarking.]
Type: Sub-Station (not always manned)

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
