Police Department Facility
Much more than just a place to book and process offenders, local police departments serve as a reminder of the safety and security community members should expect from their civil servants. To further accommodate that expectation, city and police administrators are utilizing versatile storage solutions to create a more welcoming and functional environment for their residents.
In concert with – and in some instances, housed in the same location as – local fire departments and municipal functions, today’s police departments are working to provide space that facilitates meeting and learning opportunities within their community. Spacesaver understands the needs of evolving police departments and provides a full lineup of USA-made storage solutions to accommodate current demand and allow for future growth.
Starting With the Stuff
No two police calls are the same. As such, officers must be as prepared as possible for all outcomes they may encounter when responding to a situation – a great deal of which begins in the storage solutions they utilize for their gear. Spacesaver designs and manufactures custom solutions capable of accommodating the specific needs of not only individual departments, but also each officer within them.
FreeStyle® Personal Storage Lockers
Retention is far and wide the largest concern of police chiefs throughout the country. Advances in technology and design have created a great deal of competition in attracting and retaining officers, and departments know they need to provide the most innovative options to ensure their officers remain in place and at the top of their game.
In addition, these innovative solutions deliver peace of mind for officers on duty by securing their personal belongings and keeping the worry of loss or damage out of mind. Furthermore, lockers can be outfitted with charging and ventilation options to keep items charged, clean, and ready for action when called upon.

Duty Lockers
Not all gear is necessary on a daily basis, but it is all necessary. That said, an officer’s personal locker is not designed to house all of their gear, creating a need for supplemental storage that is accessible and dependable when the time of need comes. Duty lockers store a wide array of seasonal and special weapons and tactical gear and can be paired with a number of locking mechanisms to provide the highest degree of safety and accountability for users.

Knowing this, Spacesaver provides a variety of evidence storage solutions that are specifically designed to maintain the integrity of each piece of evidence for however long necessary.

Available with a myriad of locking mechanisms, officers can safely and confidently drop off all types of evidence no matter what time of day or availability of evidence technician.
