Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the new police station set to be built on Auckland's Federal Street - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

It's hoped a new police station in Auckland's CBD will make people feel safe and make it easier for police to attend crime.

The Federal Street facility will have 51 beat officers and staff, including prosecutors and firearms safety authority personnel.  

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this development will help make the city centre safer.
