'Enough is Enough': Medford Officers Have Had it With Police Station Conditions

Medford Police are protesting what they say are embarrassing, unsanitary conditions at the police station.

Police say mold, broken windows, and other issues are making for gross, unsafe conditions in the more-than-five-decade-old building.

Chief Leo Sacco told Fox25 "it's a health, safety, and wellness issue."

It's also an public image issue.

“There's vermin, lot of mice and animals. We get a lot of odors from things in the ceilings, bugs, which all is on a gross factor,” Officer Eleanor Whelan told Fox25. "It's embarrassing."

Mayor Stephanie Burke has told Fox25 she agrees that a new building is needed.
