This project provides for planning, design and construction of a new 28,294-gross square feet (including auxiliary structures) 6th District Police Station and a new parking garage of 59,526 gross square feet (in 2 levels) to serve Gaithersburg/Montgomery Village and vicinity. The Prototype District Station is a facility consisting of two floors and surface parking. The first floor houses the public access area, operations, patrol, and support functions, and includes a small prisoner holding area. The second floor houses investigative units, staff support and administration.

Besides a surface parking lot that will provide 37 parking spaces in the non-secured area, a parking garage to accommodate 160 cars will be constructed inside the secured area. This parking garage will house a large evidence room, a vehicle service bay, and bicycle and motorcycle storage. The district station is a 24-hour per day, seven-day per week operation and provides support for beat teams. It is the command center for any satellite facilities within the police district.

The district station will accommodate up to 161 department staff and volunteers. It has been sized to meet the needs projected in the Police Chiefs Staffing Plan. A public meeting room will be available to facilitate outreach with the community.

6th District Police Station  - No. 470702

The project is at final stage of design. Start of construction is pending on completion of the Watkins Mill Road Extended construction which currently is projected in fall of 2010.
