National Police Expertise and Partnership Philosophy

Police station design is one of those complex building types that requires an architectural specialist to get it right. We hear all too often “My station is not functional”, “The building is too small for our long term needs” and “The project was a nightmare” from police chiefs who used the local generalist architect. A new police station is too significant a capital expense and department opportunity to get it wrong.

SRBL’s National Police Partnership Program brings its national expertise to your community. Here, SRBL serves as the Police Design Architect and partners with a strong local Architect of Record to bring both high-level of experience and local knowledge to your project. SRBL takes the lead, guiding you through each step of this process. We conduct:

Space needs analysis
Prepare a building program with complete construction cost estimate and turnkey project budget
Conceptual site and floor plans with a 3D exterior design solution.

We help you interview local architects and select the best firm. The local firm understands your town’s politics, building costs and conditions, and has greater accessibility to your site. This engaged Owner’s team is a proven approach to success.

SRBL provides complete services from police planning studies through design and construction administration. This technical competence allows SRBL to offer our national clients a stronger, deeper team. Some national police consultants only handle the front end of a project and therefore don’t understand the intricacies of executing a design. SRBL does it all.
