Ipoh Police Headquarters (GPS: 4.59496, 101.07462) occupies a major section of the city between Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang (Club Road) and Jalan Sultan Yusuf. It is bordered by Jalan Sultan Iskandar (Hugh Low Street) to the north and Jalan Koo Chong Kong (Hill Street) to the south.
The Ipoh police force dates back to its establishment in 1879. The earliest police barracks were erected in the 1890's, but the oldest buildings existing today within the Ipoh Police Headquarters date from 1911, following the relocation of the Perak Police headquarters from Taiping to Ipoh two years earlier. These early police buildings, designed by architect C.M. LaBrooy, were some of the earliest public buildings to be built in Ipoh.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
