MERRILLVILLE â After being closed for the past 15 years, the town s north police station has recently reopened.
The Merrillville Police Department s north station, in Broadway Plaza at 5400 Broadway, opened a month ago, Police Chief Wiley Luther Cuttino said. We are glad to see it become a reality. We ve been working on it for some time, Cuttino said.
Cuttino and other town officials gathered at the north station entrance on Tuesday afternoon to conduct a tour of the newly opened substation. Business owners and residents asked us if we can come back home and here we are, Cuttino said.
A second tour, led by Cuttino, followed at the newly opened police training center which is located at the Pruzin Center, at 57th Avenue and Tyler Street.
