Camarillo Police Facility
Camarillo, CA

This facility consists of 30,000 s. f. of remodeled space converting an existing building to the City’s new police facility containing an emergency operations cen­ter, pre-booking facility, administration, traf­fic, investigations, patrol, youth services and physical training. This project included ex­tensive structural upgrading to meet the re­quirements of the California Essential Services Act.

In order to meet current budget restrictions, the City cur­rently contracts for police ser­vices with the County of Ventura; however, the facility is de­signed to accommodate a future communications center and holding facility, when and if the City elects to provide their own police services.

The facility must be planned in a manner that will allow it to be converted into future uses with a minimum expense and down time for on-going operations. Phasing design is the key to this process.
