Project Overview

The City is bringing multiple Police Department operations together in a new facility on Prescott Lakes Parkway. The project combines a Police Substation with a Property & Evidence facility, creating more efficient spaces for officers and specialized teams.

Today, some police operations are spread across multiple locations. Officers can spend valuable time traveling back to downtown headquarters for routine tasks, taking them away from the areas they serve. The new facility will bring many of these functions together and provide space for equipment, training, and specialized operations.

The facility will include space for property and evidence intake, processing, and secure storage, along with offices and care facilities for K9 and Animal Control teams. A training yard will support their work, while the patrol substation will give officers a place to work closer to the areas they serve. The project also includes large vehicle storage for SWAT vehicles and the Mobile Command Post, as well as secure storage for impounded vehicles held as property or evidence.

The site is also planned to accommodate potential future phases, which could include a crime lab and indoor shooting range.

The downtown Police Department building will remain the headquarters. It will continue to house Records, Investigations, Community Services, Administrative Support, and Command Staff.

Location & Design

The new facility is planned for Prescott Lakes Parkway, near Yavapai County's justice facilities.

Its location brings multiplerelated public safety operations closer together. Nearby facilities include the Yavapai County Jail, Juvenile Justice Center, Yavapai Humane Society, and the Police Department firearms range.

The site was selected with response times, convenient access to State Highways 69,89, and 89A, and proximity to these nearby facilities in mind. Its size also provides the space needed to accommodate the new facility and support more efficient travel between locations for activities such as booking, juvenile services, animal-related calls, and training.

Facility Features

The proposed facility brings together multiple Police Department operations and provides space for:

• Patrol: Space for officers working throughout the community.
• Traffic Safety: Space for traffic-related operations.
• Animal Control: Facilities to support animal-related calls and services.
• K9 Teams: Spaces for K9 operations, equipment, and care.
• Citizens on Patrol: Space to support volunteer activities.
• SWAT: Storage and support areas for specialized equipment and operations.
• Property & Evidence: Space for secure storage, processing, and management of evidence and recovered property.
• Vehicle and equipment storage: Large Vehicle Storage building, providing approximately 11,440 square feet of secure areas for department vehicles and specialized equipment.
• Training: Space for department training and activities.

The property and evidence portion of the building is approximately 12,065 square feet. The full substation and property and evidence building is approximately 40,370 square feet.

Bringing these operations together will provide officers with more convenient access to equipment and resources while creating additional space at downtown headquarters.
