Public Safety Training Facility Improvements

District: 5

Location: 3260 N. 40th Street

Project Description: The Public Safety Training Facility was built in 1986 for the training of police and fire recruits and ongoing training of incumbents. Classrooms were added to the facility in 1996. Currently there are no dedicated classrooms to support Special Operations or command/operations simulation training which is a core training element. Over the last four years, the Fire Department has had an average of 26 firefighter recruits at the academy and the Police Department has had an average of 38 police recruits. Both Police and Fire use the Public Safety Training Facility for regular training sessions for incumbents. Fire staffing at the Public Safety Training Facility includes six regular staff, with additional staff assigned depending on the activity at the facility. Police staffing at the facility consists of 23 training staff. The projected growth in police and fire training are not supported by the current building configuration. This project will provide necessary improvements to the facility to accommodate facility needs for training of police, fire recruits and ongoing training for incumbents.
