Our work at the City of Durham Police Headquarters <br /> included a DEMS and its support spaces, including secure data storage and physical <br /> space for dash and body cameras. The design team will utilize the expertise of <br /> subject-matter-expert SLAM and low-voltage security consultant J&A to help <br /> Secure entry point integrate a robust and secure storage for any DEM system Orange County might have <br /> separating Durham or choose to employ. <br /> Police Headquarters' <br /> lobby from the rest of O'Brien Atkins understands that the foundation of North Carolina Law Enforcement <br /> the building Accreditation (NCLEA) accreditation rests not only on policy but also on the physical <br /> environment that enables compliance. We will consider this goal throughout the <br /> design process to ensure the constructed facility will meet or exceed the operational, <br /> security, and documentation standards mandated by the NCLEA program. <br /> JOHN LINK GOVERNMENT SERVICES CENTER <br /> The primary role of a Sheriff's Office is to provide safe, efficient, convenient service <br /> — ° to the community. The Sheriffs Office has both public-facing departments and <br /> secure operations in one building, requiring an understanding of security protocols <br /> and systems. O'Brien Atkins' portfolio and support from security consultant J&A <br /> Engineering will allow us to provide a successful combination of public and private <br /> spaces within the Link building. <br /> Improving service to Renovating the Link Building will provide the Sheriff with enough space for <br /> the community expansion and provide a welcoming public presence on Cameron Street. There is <br /> also the opportunity to consider an entrance off Margret Street so that the entire <br /> Justice Complex will have a unified street address, which enables a separate lower- <br /> level staff entrance. <br /> Some program elements to be considered for this facility include: <br /> • Reception <br /> • Admin Offices <br /> ,wl <br /> • Squad Room Roll Call <br /> • Investigations Rooms, including Interview Areas <br /> • Dispatch Communications for 911 <br /> • Training Rooms <br /> Enhanced pedestrian • Holding Cells <br /> experience at the • Storage <br /> renovated Durham • Locker/Break/Exercise Rooms <br /> County Admin II • Data and IT Storage (DEMS) <br /> A key challenge with the Link Building is its current unoccupied status due to <br /> environmental hazards stemming from water intrusion. The design team will start <br /> with a thorough investigation, utilizing Terracon's Industrial Hygienist and Raymond's <br /> Building Envelope consultant to fully understand the scope of the damage. <br /> +: Identifying solutions to mitigating the hazards and preventing future water intrusion <br /> + Cn SLAM are critical to the success of this project. 122 <br />
