Comino Police Station

The Comino Police Station is the only operating police station located on the small island of Comino in the Maltese Archipelago, on the coast of the Santa Marija Bay, north of the Comino Chapel.

Construction

The station was built in 1743 by Grand Master Pinto to halt illegal activities such as smuggling and quarantine evasion that potentially spread the plague. The construction cost 456 scudi.

Application

During World War II, the building was an Allied observation post. Later, officers delivered mail to the island's inhabitants, enforced boat speed limits near beaches and provided first aid.
