OFFICER Magazine’s Law Enforcement Track at the 2022 Station Design Conference was held May 24-26 at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, and featured the leading architectural firms specialized in law enforcement facilities. Conference speakers presented the latest trends and innovations in new law enforcement facilities, with a heightened focus on security and training.
Several of the presentations focused on the future of interactions between law enforcement, fire, public safety and emergency operation centers. In planning for a new public safety building, given the current economic, social, and political climate, the priority is to create support and develop a productive dialogue across the community and create support.
Next year's conference is scheduled for May 23-25, 2023 at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ball Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
