As stated by Canterbury District Commander Superintendent John Price:
Rangiora Police Station has been closed to staff and the public as a precaution, to enable urgent seismic remedial work to be done to the building.
Police commissioned a seismic assessment after concerns were raised about the building during recent refurbishment work.
The safety of our staff and members of the public using the building is and will remain our primary consideration and Police are now on site discussing the detailed seismic report and remedial options with engineers.
