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 need a modern and permanent home for training personnel serving in our public safety agencies.

• The 85-acre facility will be constructed on a set of parcels owned by the City of Atlanta that total more than 400 acres. The rest of that land will continue to be green space.


• The site itself will have green space open to the public, featuring trails, recreation areas, and picnic areas.


• Most of the site will include double row erosion control to ensure viability of Intrenchment Creek, the main waterway in the South River Forest Basin.


• The training center will sit on land that has long been cleared of hardwood trees through previous uses of the site. Arborists have confirmed the existing vegetation on this land is overwhelmingly dominated by invasive species like brush, weeds, vines, and softwood trees.
