McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center Project

PSTOCThe first step toward the McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center Project was taken in November 2002 when voters approved a bond referendum that included $29 million towards the replacement of county's aging Emergency Communications Center. Additional funding for this facility has been allocated from county general funds. When complete, the Department of Public Safety Communications (9-1-1 Communication Center), the Office of Emergency Management, the Emergency Operations Center, the Virginia State Police Division 7 dispatchers and call talkers, and Virginia Department of Transportation Smart Traffic Center will be co-located in the facility.

A Forensics Facility for the Fairfax County Police Department is also being constructed adjacent to the McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center. When complete, the facility will provide new quarters for the Crime Scene Unit, the NOVARIS section, as well as the Electronic Surveillance Unit and a future DNA/Ballistic Laboratory. 

See the project overview (PDF) for more information.
