This project provides for the site selection, planning, and design of a replacement district station to serve the Bethesda Chevy-Chase area and portions of Potomac and Silver Spring included in the 2nd Police District.

The present Bethesda Police Station was constructed in 1961 and contains 21,707 gross square feet. The current station site is constrained with limited staff and public parking. Staff park across the street in a public parking garage. Because the garage is open to the public, police cars have been damaged by vandals. This station requires major building repairs, and a recent report completed for the County outlines a need for almost $200,000 in deferred maintenance. The facility also has HVAC deficiencies.

District Stations are the center of police services for each district.  They provide the base of support facilities for all District Beat Teams and serve as the “parent facility” for all satellite facilities.  The District Station operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on a continuous basis

Current: 2nd District Police Station  - No. 471200

Proposed: 2nd District Police Station  - No. 471200
