New era for Aberdeen police as public service counter on the move The public counter at Queen Street in the 1970s (courtesy of Police Scotland) A new era for policing in Aberdeen begins today with the opening of the public service counter at the new HQ in Marischal College. The counter had been located at the Queen Street police station for more than 45 years. But it has now moved as part of plans to sell the old station and integrate police staff with partner organisations, and into existing police buildings. The public can now access the counter within Aberdeen City Council's customer service centre on Broad Street.
