Plainfield, Indiana
CSO guided Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) officials through master planning and a facilities assessment to plan long-overdue improvements on the campus where two-thirds of the state’s police officers are trained.
Project Details
CSO was hired to participate in a master planning and facility assessment process in 2019 in context of an official legislative task force established by House Bill 1001. The task force made recommendations that resulted in another piece of legislation, HB 1006, funding improvements to the facilities including a new 200 room dormitory, new emergency vehicle operations course, new classrooms and offices, a scenario-based training curriculum and scenario village, and new maintenance building. The project will enhance scenario-based training and is intended to replicate real world situations for the officers in training.
ILEA officials remain hopeful that a second phase of improvements will be funded in the near future including a new athletic, contact training, and aquatic training facility, and a new firearms range. The combined project will total $90-100 million in improvements.
