Lilydale police station is one of two stations that will close.
TWO police stations will close and other stations will be downgraded as part of a Tasmania Police bid to cut costs.
An overhaul of the statewide organisation will create a total of three units: roads and public order, community support and a crime and drug investigation unit.
Police Commissioner Darren Hine delivered the news yesterday, after a review that began in July.
"The outcome is a structure that provides optimal use of our resources, the flexibility to respond to community needs and minimises the impact on frontline policing," Mr Hine said.
Risdon Vale and Lilydale will lose their stations, as a result of the earlier decision to close Avoca.
The Risdon Vale position will be reallocated to Bellerive.
Sorell and Bellerive divisions will be merged to create the southeast division, abolishing the inspector's position at Sorell.
Oatlands will be downgraded to a country station, reduced by one constable and clustered with Bothwell, Kempton and Liawenee to give flexibility for officers to work their shifts according to demand.
Also in the south, the Eastern District Commander position will be cut.
A group of inspector positions will be reduced.
Police Minister David O'Byrne said extra police would be at Kingston, New Norfolk, Sorell and Dunalley.
"I'm advised this latest decision makes good strategic sense," Mr O'Byrne said.
In the north, George Town and St Helens divisions will be merged to create the northeast division, with the St Helens inspector position abolished.
Deloraine will include the West Tamar area.
In the west, a Central West division will be formed.
Strahan, Rosebery and Zeehan will be deemed country stations which police said would create greater flexibility in rostering.
The new structure will begin by July 1.
