Tervuren (Brussels Morning Newspaper) January 16, 2026 – The Voer en Dijle police zone has taken a new building into operation in Tervuren, bringing services closer to local residents. Officials state the facility enhances accessibility and community integration. The move supports ongoing efforts to position police nearer to citizens than ever before.
The new structure serves the Voer en Dijle zone, covering Tervuren and surrounding Flemish Brabant communes. Local authorities inaugurated the building to streamline operations and foster direct public interaction. Police leadership highlighted improved response capabilities and resident convenience as key benefits.
Details of the New Police Facility
The building provides modern office space, operational rooms, and public reception areas. It accommodates administrative functions, patrol coordination, and community liaison services. Location in Tervuren centralises access for zone inhabitants.
Construction completed recent phases, allowing immediate occupancy. Interior features include secure holding areas, evidence storage, and technology-equipped briefing rooms. Exterior design incorporates public parking and pedestrian-friendly entrances.
Zone spokespersons confirmed full handover from builders to police administration. Staff relocation occurred progressively, minimising service disruptions. Daily operations now run from the site, handling reports, inquiries, and preventive programmes.
Voer en Dijle Police Zone Overview
Voer en Dijle encompasses multiple municipalities in Flemish Brabant, including Tervuren, Overijse, Kraainem, Wezembeek-Oppem, and Oudergem. The zone manages local policing under Belgium’s integrated police model. Total population exceeds 70,000 residents across urban and suburban areas.
Headquarters previously located elsewhere, prompting the Tervuren expansion for decentralisation. The zone employs over 150 officers and support personnel. Core duties cover crime prevention, traffic control, victim assistance, and neighbourhood watch initiatives.
Annual reports detail activity levels, with thousands of interventions logged yearly. Budget allocations fund infrastructure upgrades like the new building. Partnerships with local governments sustain facility maintenance and expansions.
Strategic Location Benefits in Tervuren
Tervuren’s position offers proximity to key residential districts and the Africa Museum vicinity. Residents gain shorter travel times for non-emergency matters. The site lies near major roads, facilitating rapid deployment across the zone.
Public feedback shaped the facility’s design, prioritising welcoming atmospheres. Opening hours extend to evenings for working citizens. Digital check-in systems reduce wait times at counters.
Neighbourhood teams base operations here, conducting foot patrols and community meetings. Youth programmes and senior safety sessions occur on-site. Integration with municipal services streamlines joint initiatives.
Official Statements on Citizen Proximity
Zone chief remarked, “We are closer to the citizens than ever before.” This phrase underscores the relocation’s intent. Leadership views the building as a community hub beyond traditional policing.
Inauguration events drew local dignitaries, residents, and media. Speeches emphasised trust-building through visibility. Displays showcased vehicles, equipment, and prevention tools.
Printed materials and signage direct visitors efficiently. Online maps integrate the address into zone resources. Helplines route calls to the Tervuren number during shifts.

Oh, fantastic! A shiny new police station in Tervuren – just what we needed to make sure the crooks are just a tad closer to the lads in blue. Maybe next, they’ll put a café in there for a proper ‘cuppa’ while they wait for the paperwork! ☕️🚔
