After years of planning, budgeting and building a new public safety complex in Mansfield (underbudget and on time!), Chief Ronald Sellon participated in a special committee seeking to outline best practices for public safety departments when planning new facilities projects.
Police Facilities Planning Guidelines provides law enforcement executives and project managers with a planning model applicable to all types and sizes of facility projects. It cannot be emphasized enough that the design process requires a team effort including law enforcement, government officials involved in finance and building requirements, and architects familiar with the specialized design of public safety facilities. The goal of this document is to guide law enforcement executives through the facility planning process and alert them to specific design and construction considerations. While design and construction issues are unique to each jurisdiction, core planning steps are essential to every jurisdiction.
