The consortium will design, build, finance and operate the facilities. The two new divisional headquarters for City and Holbeck, and Wakefield divisions of West Yorkshire Police will be located at Elland Road in Leeds, and Havertop Lane in Normanton, Wakefield. The third facility will be the new specialist operational training centre at Carr Gate, where the Operational Support Division is based.
The new buildings will provide a modern, flexible working environment. They will offer an environment to train officers for real life situations. All three sites will have a community facility in order to connect them to the communities they serve.
Planning permission has been secured for all the three sites, with the first facility to come into use in December 2013. The consortium will then be responsible for the delivery of services, including cleaning, maintenance and energy management once the buildings are completed.
