With a commitment to abandon their existing, deficient make-do facility and the ever-increasing need to provide modern, relevant police officer training, the St. Paul Port Authority and the City of St. Paul came together to develop a new Public Safety Training Facility.
This facility aspires to create a positive identity for the police and connect the nearby St. Paul Police headquarters' culture with a state-of-the-art training facility. The training facility includes office space for training division staff, locker rooms for staff and cadets, two lecture classrooms, a reconfigurable scenario-training suite with movable walls and a multitude of simulated environments, and a 12-lane firing range used for training and certification.
