The Training Center

The Public Safety Training Center will be used by the Atlanta Police Department and the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department to train their personnel.
Both the Atlanta Police Department and Atlanta Fire Rescue Department currently use insufficient and aging facilities that impede proper training. Atlanta needs a modern and permanent home for training personnel serving in our public safety agencies.
The facility will include:
- An Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) for fire and police driving training;
- A training and education center with modular design enabling classroom, seminar education and training;
- A Leadership Institute complete with an auditorium, meeting rooms and a community room to host leadership events and accommodate the needs of the community;
- A firing range with sound baffling and barriers;
- A fitness center for public safety professionals;
- Stables and pastureland for mounted patrol;
- Canine training center with kennels;
- Green space open to the public, featuring trails, picnic areas and a pavilion; and
- A community watch training program for our communities.

The Center will be built on land owned by the City of Atlanta in unincorporated DeKalb County.
The Center is being developed by the Atlanta Police Foundation on behalf of the City of Atlanta. After construction, the Center will be managed by the City.
