Chief Edward Deveau stands at attention as the honor guard raises the colors to begin the festivities at the ceremonial opening of Watertown’s new police station on Oct. 7, 2010.

With the grand opening ceremonies of Oct. 7, 2010, the Watertown police station project is now complete.

From the groundbreaking to the ribbon-cutting, the Cunniff Kids News has been able to document the project’s progress — thanks in large part to the help and support of the Watertown Police Department and the Town Council.

Below are the reporters’ stories, pictures, and video as collected during their trips to the Main Street site over the years. Now that the project is complete, take a moment to revisit what the home of the new Watertown police station used to look like not that long ago.
