The City of San Marcos Police Headquarters includes functions such as 911 dispatch, a firearms training range, SWAT services, and evidence storage. The remodel/modernization began with an architectural and engineering assessment of the existing Police Department Building to determine overall facility condition, environmental review, and other system-related issues that need resolution. Items identified by the A/E team in the assessment as areas of need include additional office space, upgrades to the HVAC system, security and perimeter fencing, and site improvements.
