The new Town of Jupiter Police Department is a state-of-the-art, hurricane-resilient facility designed to provide advanced training for police officers and staff. Built to withstand extreme conditions, this Category 5 hardened facility can endure winds up to 192 mph, ensuring the safety of both police and town personnel during natural disasters. CMTA, operating as OCI Associates, designed the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and IT/AV systems for the building, enhancing the functionality and resilience of this vital community resource.
The first phase of the redevelopment focused on creating a facility that supports daily public safety operations. Notably, the facility features a 2,000 SF Data Center that supports the Town's information infrastructure, as well as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The mission-critical data center is equipped with 10 cabinets connected by a fiber backbone that serves the entire site, all backed by an emergency generator and a 100KVA UPS system for uninterrupted power supply.
Additionally, as part of this redevelopment initiative, the entire department's technology was upgraded, including the installation of new audio-visual equipment across more than a dozen rooms and public spaces such as conference rooms, a daily briefing room, the emergency operations command center, and a training room. Overall, the new police department not only enhances public safety and operational efficiency but also reinforces the Town of Jupiter’s commitment to protecting and serving its residents in times of both everyday needs and emergencies.
