Public Safety Training Center

The Public Safety Training Center is a state-of-the-art facility that provides a space for different disciplines of public safety to work and train together in simulated real-life emergency situations. Those in the field of public safety will be able to gain new and improved skills to help continue to serve and protect the citizens of Washington County, Maryland.  

The first phase of the Public Safety Training Center project was completed in Spring of 2022, which included site development and construction of the training center building. The training center building is approximately 35,000 square feet and includes classrooms, administration offices, a break room, a weight room, locker rooms, and a multi-purpose room. While the facility is open for classroom training, future plans for the site include development of a tactical village that will involve construction of the following training elements: 

• Class B Multi-Story Burn Building/Training Tower  
• Vehicle Maneuvering Range 
• Vehicle Instructional Facility 
• Canine Facility 
• Drone Flying Area 
• Indoor Firing Range 
• 1.5 Mile Outdoor Fitness Track 
• And, more…
