A/Z managed the development of the Westerly Police Department Headquarters, a two-story, 28,000 sf structure designed to support current and future police operations, public safety, and emergency response programs for the town.  The headquarters includes extensive administrative office areas, detective and investigative offices, and a training area to support more than a hundred full-time officers, part-time officers, and civilian staff employees. The headquarters offers this personnel various amenities including staff break areas, a fitness center, and locker room. Additionally, evidence storage, holding rooms, a detention area, and a sally port were constructed as part of this project. The project team was responsible for installing all mechanical, power, lighting, and alarm systems for the facility. A data center supports all police operations and incorporates a 700 sf, three-station fully integrated emergency service dispatch center. The center includes radio and voice-over-IP phone systems, data systems, technologically advanced video monitoring systems, and off-site camera surveillance systems along with a 125-foot communications tower to support public safety radio systems. The Town of Westerly’s approved budget for this project was strictly maintained and tracked by the A/Z team and was ultimately completed within schedule requirements and the town’s approved referendum.
