Trinity Road Police Station is the headquarters of the "Trinity Sector", or just "Trinity", of the Avon and Somerset Constabulary in Old Market area of Lawrence Hill, Bristol.[1]
It was formed out of two previous sectors: Ashley Sector (St Pauls, Montpelier, Kingsdown, Cotham & Eastville) and Lawrence Hill/Easton Sector (Lawrence Hill, Easton, St Phillips, Redfield, Whitehall, Barton Hill, St Judes, Eastville & Redcliffe).
It was announced in April 2014 that the station is to be closed.[2] In 2019 Avon and Somerset Constabulary stated they only needed 10% of its space, and intend to sell the building in 2019, but do not intend to leave the site entirely.[3]
