Law Enforcement Design

Our core belief is that architecture has a profound responsibility to the community, and regardless of the project type, our duty is to always enhance the economic, aesthetic, social, and environmental context of the communities we work in. More than 45 years later, this vision has not changed. Today, we provide our government clients with superior customer service by adopting the client’s goals as our own, enabling transparent decision-making, committing to responsible spending of public funds, and remaining passionate about the success of the communities for whom we work. More than any other building design, public safety facilities help define and influence the image of our communities. Additionally, the long-term and dynamic nature of our public safety facilities means that these buildings are among the most enduring. Over the course of completing over 150 law enforcement projects throughout the country, BKV has created long-term impacts on public safety building design that are responsive to ever-changing service requirements.

In the police service, resiliency is more than a buzzword – it’s mission critical. At BKV Group, we understand the nature of resiliency, and it informs our design decisions throughout the project. We use diverse solutions to help our clients be prepared for a range of vulnerabilities. With low-maintenance and long-lasting materials and a careful approach to long-term energy use, a law enforcement facility can operate at a high level for 50 years or more. We design with multi-functional rooms, with pathways to gracefully integrate future technology, and with renovation and expansion in mind, because we believe that a police station should be able to adapt to the changing world.
