Mackenzie’s presentation focuses on key design strategies surrounding today’s modern law enforcement facility and how such features mitigate threats, reduce attack vulnerability, and enhance officer safety, while preserving an inviting and welcoming facility. Together with Deputy Chief Chuck Steichen of the Lynnwood Police Department, Mackenzie will use the Lynnwood Community Justice Center as a case study demonstrating the application of such strategies in a combined police, municipal jail, emergency operations center, municipal court and supporting structured parking garage. You will walk through design precedence of how such strategies can be implemented, while preserving the department culture, workflow, and public facing image of the facility. You will leave with a key plan for how to balance the human needs of your department with occupant safety in your existing or planned facility.
