Town of Greece Police Headquarters

The Town of Greece’s existing precinct #1 headquarters building was originally designed as a wastewater treatment facility. Driven by the much-needed replacement of this building, and with planning and development in the works for over two decades, a new police headquarters facility became a reality for the Town of Greece in spring of 2017.

The Town’s goal was reached through the construction of a state-of-the-art, efficient, and, most importantly, safe police headquarters building proper for the Greece Police Department to conduct professional police work well into the 21st century. The new facility, officially named the Gerald D. Phelan Police Headquarters, was designed to accommodate the Police Department’s 100 sworn officers that patrol and protect 42 square miles of land and serve a population of approximately 100,000 Town of Greece residents.

This was accomplished through the programing of 27,000 sq. ft. and the development a two-story, steel and masonry structure that houses a variety of police services, including police administration, booking and road patrol, evidence and property processing, criminal investigation, and civil staff services.

Efficient police operations were also met through the design of a fully equipped roll call room placed adjacent to a large men’s and women’s locker room complete with custom law enforcement lockers; the development of a modern booking area with six individual holding cells and one group holding cell, all of which conform to the mandates of the New York Commission of Corrections; a modern evidence laboratory placed adjacent to a large evidence/property storage room; a two-car evidence garage; and a four-car sally port. In addition, all administrative offices were strategically placed on the second floor, which also includes the Chief’s suite, criminal investigation, quartermaster, armory, and interview rooms.
