Kansas State University | Office Park Phase III

For decades, the Gladstone Police Department shared its home with City Hall, a setup that, over time, became increasingly inadequate. The building was not only outdated but also too cramped to meet the evolving needs of the community and the police force. Recognizing the importance of maintaining the department's central presence in downtown Gladstone, a decision was made to expand and renovate the police headquarters and city hall. This strategic choice honors the department's rich history while paving the way for a future of enhanced service and efficiency.
The project includes a 20,000 sq. ft. expansion, coupled with an 8,000-sq. ft. renovation, designed to bridge the gap between the Police Department and City Hall, thereby fostering a more cohesive and efficient operation. The expansion includes adding new property evidence rooms, modern offices, dedicated workout spaces for staff wellness, and expanded areas to support a growing police force.
One highlight of the project is the cutting-edge, 11-console dispatch center. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a hub of coordination and communication, not only for Gladstone but also for neighboring Liberty police and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. By housing these critical dispatch services together, the facility aims to enhance response times, streamline operations, and strengthen agency collaboration.
With these improvements, the Gladstone Police Department is set to have a facility that supports its staff and serves the community effectively for the next 50 years and beyond. Through modernization and thoughtful design, the project underscores Gladstone's dedication to safety, efficiency, and community presence, ensuring that the police department remains a pillar of the community for generations to come.
