The new two-story complex houses offices for personnel of the Versailles Police Department, including officers and detectives. It also features evidence intake and processing areas, a vehicle drive-through sallyport, separate locker rooms for men and women, a fitness room, a community meeting space, a 911 dispatch area with supporting electronics, and an exterior ground-mounted radio tower.

The HVAC systems for this complex consisted of a heat-recovery variable-refrigerant-volume system with multiple indoor air handling units and related exterior condensing units. This system can simultaneously heat and cool all areas of the building. Outside ventilation air was provided to the building via a heat recovery make-up air unit.

Fire protection was provided by a wet-pipe sprinkler system and a clean-agent suppression system, both used to protect the 911 dispatch area and related electronics. The electrical systems consisted of creative lighting designs and energy-efficient lighting. The building incorporated a wireless data network infrastructure, digital CCTV camera system, and 911 dispatch-related electronics. Emergency power was provided by a fuel oil-fired generator.
