The Rhode Island State Police Southern Public Safety Complex is a $41.8 million, 35,000-square-foot facility situated on a seven-acre site at Exit 21 of Interstate I-95 in West Greenwich. The complex consolidates operations for approximately 80 state troopers who previously served from the aging Wickford and Hope Valley Barracks, both of which will be decommissioned. 

By centralizing operations at this modern West Greenwich headquarters, the Rhode Island State Police have enhanced their ability to serve southern Rhode Island communities with updated technology, improved infrastructure, and expanded operational capabilities. Among the communities directly served are East Greenwich, portions of Warwick, Narragansett, North Kingstown, South Kingstown, West Warwick, New Shoreham (Block Island), Jamestown, Exeter, West Greenwich, Charlestown, Coventry, Hopkinton, Richmond, and Westerly.
