Mississauga is getting a new police station, with land now secured for a major facility in the rapidly developing Lakeview Village community.
Ward 1 Councillor Stephen Dasko broke the news Monday evening (Oct. 5), announcing that the Region of Peel has finalized the land acquisition for the future Peel Regional Police 14 Division.
The new division is expected to bring 600 officers and support personnel to southeast Mississauga, significantly increasing the police presence in Ward 1 and surrounding communities.
“I am pleased to announce that today the Region of Peel has successfully finalized the acquisition of land for a new Peel Regional Police division to be located in Lakeview Village, marking a significant milestone for public safety in Mississauga’s southeast community,” Dasko said.
The announcement marks the latest step in a project in the works for several years.
The region issued a request for proposals for architectural consulting services for a new 14 Division earlier this year. The procurement record shows the contract was awarded in April, with the project now moving through the design process.
A construction-industry project listing describes the planned facility as a 7,430-square-foot, two-storey fire and police facility, along with a 9,300-square-foot, three-storey parking garage. The project is currently in the conceptual design phase, with construction not anticipated before 2028.
Dasko said he has been working with the region, Peel Regional Police and representatives of Lakeview Village for several years to help bring the project to fruition.
“Public safety continues to be one of the top priorities I hear about from residents,” Dasko said. “Listening to our community, I have consistently advocated for increased police presence in our area. This new division is a major investment in the safety and well-being of our residents.”

What’s the biggest issue in this municipal election?
The new facility is planned for Lakeview Village, the massive redevelopment of the former Lakeview Generating Station lands along Mississauga’s waterfront near the city’s eastern border with Etobicoke.
The location is significant as the community is expected to grow substantially as Lakeview Village takes shape, bringing thousands of new residents and a mix of residential, commercial, recreational and public spaces to the waterfront.
The new police division is therefore being planned alongside one of the largest transformations in Mississauga’s history.
Dasko said locating the division within Lakeview Village will combine public safety with the ongoing redevelopment of the waterfront.
The new facility will also become part of Peel Regional Police’s broader effort to expand and modernize its infrastructure as Mississauga and Brampton continue to grow.
The region’s procurement records confirm that the 14 Division project has moved beyond the discussion stage, with architectural consulting services already awarded.
However, there is still a considerable amount of work to be done before officers move into the new building.
Dasko did not provide a projected opening date or construction cost in his announcement Monday.
He said a formal announcement with additional details will follow.
“By locating the new division within this growing community, the project combines innovation, community building, and public safety, creating a stronger foundation for the future of Mississauga’s waterfront,” Dasko said.
