Hamden police are hoping to curb crime in the Highwood Square area by opening a new substation on Dixwell Avenue.
The proposal will be heard at a Legislative Council meeting Monday night.
The substation would not have police officers assigned to it, but they would be close by and it would be a place for basic police station functions like taking down complaints.
If passed, the substation will open by Jan. 1.
The Legislative Council's Public Safety and Protection Committee previously approved a lease agreement for the property. The full council will review the proposal at its Monday night meeting.
