WHILE Mornington police station remains staffed 24/7 extra precautions have been taken for the safety of police and the public in response to the coronavirus.
Visitors are being asked to stay behind a two-metre exclusion zone near the counter. Police say they are aware of those waiting and will attend to them as soon as possible.
They ask that prospective visitors assess whether they really need to attend the station. Those requiring documents to be signed should bring their own pens.
To report a non-urgent crime or event, or for general police inquiries, call the police assistance line 131 444. Those requiring urgent police attendance should call 000.
