The Springfield Police Department Substation at the Qik-N-Ez at 430 N. Grand East has reopened. Many pillars of the community like Mayor Jim Langfelder and Alderwoman Lakeisha Purchase were present at the re-opening ceremony that took place on Friday, February 24.

The substation will provide a place for officers to engage with community members as well as write reports and other duties. Crime rates are expected to decline with the increase in police presence and cut down on response times.
