Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center Phase I
Hutchinson, KansasResidential Facility and Training Center
Treanor Architects was commissioned by the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center to design a new residential facility and additional training space at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center near Hutchinson. The 16-acre, multi-million-dollar complex serves as the central training facility for most Kansas law enforcement officers and as headquarters for all law enforcement training in the state.
Some 400 new officers annually participate in its basic training programs, and nearly 7,000 additional Kansas law enforcement personnel receive in-service training on site or in KLETC-coordinated programs across the state.
Phase I of the $10 million project included a new entrance lobby, a 126-bed residence hall, and a multipurpose facility, which will house classrooms and provide a meeting space for up to 800 people.
Phase II provided a 1.7-mile emergency vehicle driver training course and support facilities, including a driving skills pad, skid pad, control tower, vehicle storage building and classroom/office building. In addition, a Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) facility will provides officers realistic search and rescue training utilizing "simmunitions."
