This project provides for planning and design of a new 32,844 gross square foot 3rd District Police Station to serve Silver Spring and vicinity. The district station will consist of two floors and surface parking. The first floor will house the public access area, operations, patrol and patrol support functions, and a small prisoner holding area. The second floor will house investigative units, staff support and administration. The district station will be in operation 24-hours, 7-days per week and will provide support for the patrol beat teams. It will be the command center for the satellite facilities within the police district. A public meeting room will be available to facilitate outreach with the 3rd District's community.
