To further improve the communication and coordination of essential public safety services provided by the Airport Police, the facility also includes space for APD Office of Operations, Office of Support Services, Office of Homeland Security and Intelligence, Emergency Service Unit, Traffic and Security Group, Bomb Disposal Unit and K-9 Unit. Furthermore, a multi-purpose community room at the facility’s entrance creates a forum for public dialogue and engagement.
“LAX’s Airport Police Facility was created in collaboration with LAWA and the building’s users, resulting in an efficient design, in both materials and energy consumption,” said José Luis Palacios, Design Principal, SOM. “Responding to the site’s topography, the facility is a long and low, yet elegant design that is respectful of its neighborhood.”
