A unique educational opportunity, Station Design Conference brings together public safety officials, fire chiefs, police chiefs, city managers, project managers and municipal managers with top architects and subject matter experts to exchange critical insights and best practices on the latest trends and developments in effective and functional station design.

A well-designed law enforcement station comes from a simple formula: Facilities Design Committee + Qualified Team + Clear Program + Comprehensive Budget + Realistic Schedule = Your Most Effective Station
When designing a new shooting range or upgrading an existing one, noise levels always have to be taken into account.
Technology is an integral part of every public safety structure and should be planned for accordingly.
Learn everything you need to know about effective station design.
