Glendale Regional Training Center

The Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Center (GRPSTC) and Emergency Operation Center (EOC) were completed in 2007 and designed by LEA-Architects LLC. The 77-acre, 130,800 sq. ft. project area, is a regional public safety training campus and serves several Arizona cities. The facility features numerous classrooms and offices, as well as training buildings, a simulated fire station and police/fire training props. The Law Enforcement portion included fire ranges, range buildings and emergency vehicle training tracks. The Emergency Operation Center is located on the lower level of the building.

The GRPSTC, built on a blighted rock-quarry site, next to the city landfill, went from a blank sheet of paper to a ribbon cutting in only 11 months. The facility protects the NFL stadium with over 2 million valley visitors, including fans of three Super Bowls.

Plans to upgrade the Law Enforcement portion of the building will include a tactical village and expanding and upgrading the range and targeting system. Recently, there has been an increase in helicopters using the facility and creating the need for additional safety guidelines. More parking space is part of the upgrade plans and their wish list includes more classroom spaces.

Tour will be offered to a limited number of registered attendees. Click here for registration link and more details.
