Construction is progressing at the Allen Police Department’s new headquarters.
The Allen Police Department’s new $97.1 million headquarters is on track to be completed in March 2027, Public Information Officer Alexus Birmingham said.
A closer look
The Core Construction Services team is close to completing the roof, exterior windows and waterproofing the building, Birmingham said.
Interior sheetrock is almost complete and wall tile is being installed in areas of the main building, she said. The construction team is also currently running data cabling in the structure.
“We have had favorable weather that has not caused any significant delays,” Birmingham said in an email. “The police department is very grateful for the support our citizens have shown us, and we are excited about the opportunities our new headquarters will bring us.”
How we got here
Allen voters passed an $83 million bond in 2023 to fund the project. The 103,000-square-foot, three-story facility will be located on Century Parkway, between Allen City Hall and the Allen post office, according to city documents.
Assistant Police Chief Kyle Taliaferro said the department has grown in size along with the city and outgrew its current facility several years ago.
The new headquarters will include:
- A large community room for public events
- An expanded property and evidence room
- A larger crime scene lab
- Secure parking
- Strategically organized workspaces
- A human performance center dedicated to officer wellness.
- A spacious training room
The building will also have visitor parking in the front of the building with a spacious lobby, Taliaferro said.
