As local governments around the country continue to constrain their budgets, their need for suitable public safety structures remains the same. Thus, multi-agency (Fire, Law Enforcement, City Hall, etc.) public safety facilities have increased in popularity due to their potential for cost savings. During this session, Jim describes the process of designing a multi-agency facility that not only houses multiple agencies, but does so in a functional manner. Through sensible design, shared/non-shared spaces and controlled access, a combined public safety facility can be a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to a local government’s public safety facility problem.
