YUKON POLICE STATION
Triad's Architectural Division designed
a 21st Century Police Station for the City of Yukon when the old 1970's Station
and its later upgrades, all Triad designs, became insufficient for the needs of
the growing community. All Yukon Police Department divisions, as well as the City's
Emergency Operations Center, are now housed in one innovative facility. The fully
secured EOC is designed to withstand tornadic winds up to 250 mph and features control
stations to ensure continuation of vital city services. Advanced communication and
mapping system software link the Dispatch Control Room with YPD patrol car computers
and monitor EMS, fire, and police vehicles in the field.
Opened in 2008, the new Police Station was constructed adjacent to the old building,
on the same site. Following a seamless transition into the new facility, the old
station was demolished and replaced with an expanded, landscaped parking area.
Customized for the YPD, comprehensive police and crime prevention service areas
include:
- Emergency Operations Center
- Police Administration Offices
