NEW BEDFORD — City officials have opened the new South Public Safety Center at the corner of Brock Avenue and Ruth Street in the South End. The new, 25,000-square-foot station will house the former South End police substation, along with two fire stations (Station 6 and Station 11) in a combined police, fire and EMS facility, with animal control, fire prevention and emergency management to follow.

Here is the City’s news release on the center.
