Blasting work near the Aylmer police station on Aylmer Road is part of a developer’s project to
extend municipal services. While these activities are ongoing, they are not expected to disrupt
the daily operations at the station. Essential functions there continue to be carried out.
Soon, however, the Gatineau Police Service plans to construct a new building to house the
Aylmer police station. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring. The purpose is to
enhance local police infrastructure to better serve the growing needs of the community. This
project is part of the Plan d’infrastructures policières centralisées , which seeks to improve public
safety services in the city.

The new building will be constructed next to the current police station. During the construction
period, the existing service point will remain operational. Once the new facility is completed, the
old building will be demolished.

“The Aylmer police station plays a key role in maintaining peace, public safety, and law
enforcement while respecting residents’ fundamental rights,” said Maude Laverdière, a
communications officer for the Gatineau Police Service. “As a central element of local security,
the station works to prevent crime, improve the quality of life for residents, and ensure a safe
environment, particularly in terms of road safety. It serves a similar role to the headquarters and
other service points of the Gatineau Police Service, such as those in Hull and Buckingham.”
