After purchasing the building for its new headquarters from the county in 2021 for $6 million, the Frederick Police Department opened its doors to the facility at 100 All Saints Street in June. The city has breathed new life into the former William Donald Schaefer Building, repurposing the 67,000 SF office building into the new city police headquarters.
Designed with both present needs and future growth in mind, the new headquarters features a state-of-the-art training room to further community engagement efforts, improved secure evidence and property storage, and modernized workspaces to support officer wellness and productivity. The upgraded environment will allow officers and staff to work more efficiently and comfortably, while better serving the residents of Frederick.
Under one roof…
“For the first time in our agency’s history, all Frederick Police Department personnel will be under one roof, improving collaboration, efficiency, and service to our community. This project reflects years of planning, and we’re grateful to the residents of Frederick, City leadership, and the many partners who made it possible. We would especially like to thank our very own Captain Aaron Lapp, whose dedication and insight played a critical role in the design and development of our new headquarters.”
~Samantha Long, Public Information Officer for the Frederick Police Department.
The department had operated out of space at the Frederick County Courthouse since 1984, and was previously located in various office buildings throughout downtown. This official ribbon cutting for the new $33.8 million facility is the culmination of years oof planning and a significant milestone for the department and the city alike.
