How Much Does a Police Station Cost to Engineer?
Police station engineering typically costs $200,000 to $800,000+, depending on the staff size, the holding, and the 911/dispatch. Police stations are the secure-civic specialty: the sallyport (the secure — the intake's), the dispatch (the 24/7 — the redundant; the 911's), and the evidence (the secured — the chain's). Expect engineering at 8-11% of construction.

Structural: the secure
The holding (the cells' — the secure; the sallyport's — the intake), the blast (the ISC's — the considered; the standoff's), the evidence (the vault's — the secured; the chain's), and the garage (the fleet's — the secure).
Dispatch and MEP
The 911 (the redundant — the 24/7; the UPS's — the generator's), the radio (the tower's — the grounded; the interoperability), the HVAC (the zoned — the dispatch's — the independent), and the security (the layered — the access's; the video's).
Delivery
The bond (the public's — the vote; the city's), the CALEA (the accreditation's — the standards), the schedule (the operations' — the continuous), and the community (the policing's — the welcoming; the secure's — the balanced). The station's — the public's safety; the engineering's — the always-on.
The bottom line
Budget $200,000-$800,000+ for police station engineering (8-11% of construction) — sallyport/holding security, redundant 24/7 dispatch with UPS/generator, evidence chain-of-custody.
