Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center

The Tittle McFadden Public Safety Center will replace the current Police Department building and Fire Station #1 (which includes Fire Department administration) near the northwest corner of Main Street and Valley Parkway. Images shown below are conceptual drawings. The final design could look different.

Fire Station #1 will be expanded from three apparatus bays to five to accommodate equipment and staff in planning for future growth. A parking garage will provide secured parking and building access for police and fire employees and provide protected parking for special-unit vehicles. The facility also will include a hardened emergency operation center able to withstand tornado-force winds and include backup generator power to prevent prolonged outages.

The new facility will encompass 116,000 square feet of space in a two- and three-story building that will meet all future projected space needs for Police Administration, Fire Administration, and Fire Station #1. 

The Police Department building will include more than 60,000 square feet in the new building. The Fire Department building will include more than 35,000 square feet of space for Fire Administration and Fire Station #1, and the Emergency Operations Center.

There will be roughly 20,000 square feet of shared space for a fitness room,training and meeting spaces, and storage.

History

In November 2021, Lewisville voters approved a $95 million bond package to fund construction of a joint Public Safety Center for the Lewisville Police and Fire departments and Emergency Management. The total projected cost for the complex is $96.7 million. The bond election was for $95 million in general obligation bonds with the balance of funding coming from bond proceeds approved by voters in 2015 that are restricted for public safety purposes.

In September 2022, City Council unanimously approved a resolution to name the new facility for former Lewisville Fire Chief Tim Tittle and former Lewisville Police Chief Steve McFadden, in honor of their many years of public service to residents, police and fire personnel, and the City of Lewisville. Chief Tittle served in the Lewisville Fire Department for more than 40 years, becoming Chief in 2011. He died after a long battle with cancer in 2020. Chief McFadden served as Chief of Police for 29 years before retiring in 2007. 

In January 2023, a Groundbreaking Ceremony was held.

Construction on the new facility is currently underway and is scheduled to be completed in early 2025.
