Gensler Architects and Guidepost Solutions, LLC developed the solutions and plans.
The Dallas Police Department is the ninth largest municipal police force in the U.S., with 3,099 sworn officers and 598 non-sworn staff. It is led by Chief of Police Edgardo (“Eddie”) Garcia.
Built in 2003, the Jack Evans Police Headquarters building (named after the 53rd mayor of Dallas) is a six-floor, 358,000-square-foot facility spread over a three-acre site, including a separate 1,200-car parking garage and a two-acre, open parking lot for additional police and visitor vehicles. The building was under construction when 9/11 terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Buildings in New York, so security was a concern in its original design.
