Transforming Public Safety Through Integrated Infrastructure
Hoefer Welker Civic experts, Nick Lawler and Chris Krumrei, recently shared with OFFICER how integrated Joint Operations Facilities are reshaping...
The ribbon cutting ceremony for the Olathe Police Station Expansion project was held on Monday, July 12, 2010. The 42,000-square-foot addition is part of an ongoing partnership with the City of Olathe. This project was the second phase of a three-phase initiative to expand Olathe’s public safety campus. HWA previously designed the Municipal Court, completed in 2004, located within the campus.
This new two-story facility integrates the departments of the police force, which had previously been operating out of several different buildings, due to a lack of space. The Olathe Police Station building contains multiple offices, work areas, exercise rooms, locker facilities, interview rooms, storage space for evidence, a crime lab and break areas.
Approximately 200 people were present at the ceremony, including Olathe’s Mayor Pro Tem and Councilmember, Jim Randall, as well as Stephen Menke, Olathe’s Police Chief.
