What will the proposed Public Safety Building house?
The proposed building will house police and fire administration, the Fire Prevention Bureau, the investigation division, interview rooms, and other central services for both departments. Additionally: • Detective and investigative functions will be co-located and share common areas. • Circulation corridors will be designed to separate victims and suspects (in the current public safety buildings victims and suspects often use the same hallways and elevators, compromising investigations). • The building will be set back 50 feet from the street to ensure the structural integrity of the building in the event of a vehicular explosive device.
