In April, 1998 the new Evesham Municipal building opened on Tuckerton Road allowing the Department to move into much larger quarters there, having long outgrown it's space in the basement of the original municipal building on East Main Street.
This 1991 photo shows Evesham Police officers recovering an elephant statue, found at Route 73 and Brick Road. At the front is Cpl. Ed Dolphin and at the 'business' end is Ptl. Bruce LaCarte. They are putting it in the owner's truck. Chiseled-edge Chevy Caprice patrol unit shown at right.
