Comino Police Station
The Comino Police Station (Maltese: L-għassa tal-Pulizija ta ’Kemmuna) is the only operating police station located on the small island of Comino in the Maltese Archipelago. The station is located on the coast of the Santa Marija Bay and north of the Comino Chapel. Construction. The station was built in 1743 by Grand Master Pinto to halt illegal activities such as smuggling and the evasion of quarantine regulations, dedicated to halting the plague. The construction cost 456 Scudi, (approx. 46 euros). Application. The cost of applying the law (via the station) to the island in  1897 was around 14,447 Euros. During World War 2 the police station was used as an ally observation post. Later, the police officers stationed on the island were given the duties of distributing mail to the island's inhabitants, making sure that boats do not over-speed near beaches, and offering first-aid assistance to any injuries suffered by inhabitants or visitors of the island.
