BALTIMORE COUNTY BREAKS GROUND ON NEW ESSEX PRECINCT

The Baltimore County Police Department marks the next chapter of service in Precinct 11 with the groundbreaking of a new Essex Precinct.

The project represents a $29.9 million investment in public safety and the future of policing in Baltimore County. The new 34,000 square-foot renovation and expansion is designed with a focus on officer safety, operational efficiency, and community engagement.

New Precinct Features:
• 40-seat community room
• Memorial garden
• New conference and office space
• New holding cells
• A secure entrance for transferring detainees
• Secure parking area for Police with Sallyport for prisoner intake
• Welcoming public plaza and lobby

During the renovation, a 26,000-square-foot addition will be constructed to temporarily house Department members. After the addition is complete, staff will relocate there so the existing 8,000-square-foot main building can undergo renovation. The final phase will be connecting to renovated main building to the new addition. Construction is expected to be completed in Summer 2028.

Since its construction in 1973, the Essex Precinct has faced increasing space constraints, resulting in 20 to 30 of its 161 employees working offsite, which is one of the main reasons for the project moving forward.
