Police/Fire/EMS

Public safety facilities play a vital role in communities across the nation. First responders are key to the health and safety of communities large and small. DLZ serves police departments by designing facilities that respond to and accommodate the changing technology and facility needs of this market.

Successful public safety facility design solutions evolve from close collaborations and a creative project team working together every step of the way. For over a century, DLZ has done just that; growing to a national firm specializing in providing architectural and engineering design services for public safety facilities.
