Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $250 million contract with SpawGlass Construction Corp to build a new Active Shooter Training Facility for the Sheriff's Office. This specialized training center will help our deputies prepare for emergency response situations that protect our communities. The facility represents a major investment in public safety infrastructure for Harris County residents. Active shooter training helps law enforcement respond faster and more effectively during crisis situations. Better training means better protection for schools, workplaces, and public spaces across our county. The project includes a 14.14% goal for minority and women-owned business participation, creating economic opportunities for local contractors. This means more jobs and business opportunities for Harris County residents during construction. The facility will likely include simulation rooms, tactical training areas, and classroom spaces where deputies learn life-saving skills. Construction will bring temporary jobs to our area while creating a permanent resource that keeps our communities safer. Residents can track this project's progress through Harris County Commissioners Court meetings. Contact the County Engineer's office for updates on construction timelines and community impact. Attend public meetings to learn how this training facility will serve your neighborhood's safety needs.
