Over the years it underwent several name changes. In 1886 it became the independent Futsukaichi Police Station.
The enforcement of the Police Act in 1948 led to a split. It became the Chikushi District Police Station and autonomous police forces. These forces served Dazaifu Town and Futsukaichi Town. However in 1954, a consolidation occurred. The Futsukaichi Police Station was reborn.
In 1955, the town and village mergers brought another change. The station adopted its current name the Chikushino Police Station. In 1989, the station moved to its present location. It was formerly the site of the Fukuoka Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station.
