The officer approached a suspicious man loitering by the Twin City Transfer Company who, when questioned, pulled a revolver from his jacket, opened fire and fled the scene. Constable Nixon died in hospital.
The training centre is not well advertised or known by the general public and does not appear on the police department website.

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!)
