Malcolm Payne Group was commissioned by West Midlands Police Authority to design the new Tipton Sector Police Station, with the emphasis on public accessibility, quality of working environment and security for visitors and staff.
The facilities have a dedicated reception area, lift and staircase leading to interview and community rooms for use by the public. Separate access is provided to secure areas, including offices, staff rest and changing rooms. The external appearance and layout are designed to achieve a compromise between the need to provide a secure environment and create a visitor-friendly building.
