The new top cop says Aucklanders will be feeling better about a police station in the city's centre.  

Police plan to have the new Federal Street base open to the public by the middle of next year. 

It will sit close to Aotea Square and the new CRL station, making it easier to deploy officers right across the central city.  

Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking that soon we'll have 51 beats working 24/7 around the community, increasing visibility and safety.  

He says it's back to basics policing, with officers walking the beat and getting to know the people around town.
