The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners recently approved a $7.045 million contract to build a police precinct and alternate 911 center at Bay Creek Park in Loganville.
“The police precinct will bolster our law enforcement presence in the fast-growing southeastern part of our county,” said Board Chairman Charlotte Nash.
The single-story, 12,249-square-foot structure will include command staff offices, an officers’ squad room, a classroom, a fitness center with locker rooms and evidence storage.
“The alternate 911 center will be used for backup of the main emergency 911 call center in case of natural disaster, power outages or other service disruptions,” Hunter said. “Its state-of-the-art communications equipment will duplicate the main 911 call center to ease transition of staff to the alternate call center.”
The 6,236-square-foot facility, designed to storm shelter standards, will accommodate 20 dispatchers, an elevated area for supervisors to monitor and coordinate dispatchers, and ergonomically designed work stations and seating to reduce fatigue for the dispatchers.
The contract was awarded to Cooper & Company General Contractors and is funded by SPLOST revenues.
