PROVIDENCE -- The Providence Police Department dedicated a new neighborhood police station with a ribbon cutting this morning at Rising Sun Mills, 166 Valley Street.

The station is named for Sgt. Steven M. Shaw, a Providence police sergeant who died in the line of duty.

Lt. Robert T. Lepre will be commander of the District 5 station.

Rising Sun Mills is a former factory that has been turned into loft apartments and offices.
