Renovation of a fire / police facility in Bakersfield, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a two-story above grade fire / police facility.

Academy Training Facility Improvements: The Police Department training facility has multiple challenges that require interior renovations and some additions to the facility complex. This $750,000 project would provide funding to renovate the two-story main atrium area to build offices and storage spaces; and to create private areas to process and interview applicants and offices for background investigators. A secondary prefabricated auxiliary building will also be constructed to provide the necessary space for physical training needs and recommendations recently provided (2021) by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). Project will also enclose an outside storage area to enable secure storage of equipment and construct perimeter security fencing. This project is included in the City of Bakersfield's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
