Police in the city have confirmed they will move in with B&NES Council when their station is sold.
Avon and Somerset Police have released more details about how it plans to help the public stay in contact with officers when Bath Police Station closes, which is due to happen by 2018.
The force is reducing its entire portfolio of buildings by 36 per cent by 2019 to save money and keep officers close to the public.
The catalyst for the change is the opening of three new custody centres in Bridgwater, Patchway and Keynsham. The force has said it also wants to get rid of old outdated buildings that are expensive to run and maintain.
In Bath Chief Constable Nick Gargan has already made assurances that the city will be left with more than an inquiry desk.
A new Bath policing base will be co-located with Bath and North Somerset Council in Lewis House on Manvers Street - just across the road from the current station.
Mr Gargan said the city would also be home to a "full response base", which would be a base for rapid response officers serving the Bath and north east Somerset area. A location is yet to be identified but is likely to be somewhere between Bath and Radstock or Bath and Keynsham.
Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said the force needed to be clear about its intentions.
"I do not want residents to feel that the police are withdrawing from their area or street. Far from it. Our plans are about reducing the amount of oversized and under-utilised buildings we own and providing the best possible access for our communities.
"In the traditional sense police stations as you know them now, will change. Soon you are much more likely to see your local police team located with other 'blue light' services such as fire and ambulance or with your local council. This means that the police will be where you need them most, in the heart of your community.
"This is an exciting time for local policing and reinforces our commitment to serving our communities while being more efficient and cost effective with our buildings."
Elsewhere in the district Keynsham Police Station will close in spring 2015 when officers will move in with B&NES Council at the Town Hall.
In Radstock things are a little more unclear. The station is earmarked for closure but the location of a new inquiry office, to be open by 2017, is yet to be identified.
Director of finance at Avon and Somerset Police Julian Kern added: "The opening of the new police centres has presented us with a valuable opportunity to look at our police estate. We have identified where we are and where we should be to best serve our communities and support our operational officers.
"In addition, many of our buildings are in need of significant investment and are too large for what we need. We are keen to work with our local partners and seek smaller and more flexible locations.
"Some of the details of exactly where will be moving to are not yet confirmed and commercial discussions are underway in some cases. We will communicate with the local communities affected when we have the details."
