OFFICER Magazine Announces 2025 OFFICER Station Design Award Winners

Nashville, TN, Dec. 17th, 2025 — OFFICER Magazine today announced the winners of its fifth annual OFFICER Station Design Awards (OSDA) program, which recognizes outstanding architecture and design from law enforcement and public safety facilities nationwide.

Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were issued across four categories of facilities in this prestigious competition: LE Facilities I, II, and III ((by size) and Public Safety Centers. All 21 participating entries, submitted by 18 architectural firms specializing in public safety facilities, have been published in the November/December issue of OFFICER Magazine and online at Officer.com.

"Each year OFFICER Media Group does the Station Design Awards, the submitted designs continue to increase in features, meeting ever-changing demands from community leadership and the citizens themselves,” Frank Borelli, Editorial Director for OFFICER Media Group, said. “The security needs and basic functions of law enforcement buildings remain as the foundational requirements that all other design features have to either build upon or work around. It's amazing to see how the architecture firms adapt to the evolving needs balancing in concert with the fairly static basic requirements."

Paul Peluso, Managing Editor for OFFICER Magazine, noted the 2024 OSDA entries displayed several trends seen in the current landscape for law enforcement facilities.

“This year's submissions show the continued need for innovative designs in public safety facilities.” says Peluso, “We also saw an increase in shared facilities, as the Public Safety Centers category highlights seven total submissions. Another trend displyed by the submissions was the importance of physical and mental health and wealthness features included in the plans."

Winners were selected by a panel of six judges including Draper, Utah, Police Chief Richard Ferguson Draper, Retired Orlando Police Department Rangemaster  Eric Clapsaddle, Ian Reeves, AIA, and Sami Gerwick, RA, with Architects Design Group, Eric Pros, AIA, with DS Architecture and J.P.
