The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office and Search and Rescue (SAR) operations recognized the imperative need for a consolidated and efficient facility. Spread across disparate locations within the county, the existing infrastructure proved inadequate for a department tasked with serving an ever-expanding community and supporting first responders.

A&E Design embarked on a mission to address this critical need, engaging with staff, volunteers, and stakeholders to envision a unified, comprehensive campus. The resulting master plan encompasses a multifaceted approach, encompassing the remodeling and expansion of the sheriff’s office, the creation of a dedicated training center, and the establishment of a SAR headquarters complete with a new helicopter landing pad.

The SAR headquarters, designed to promote public engagement and volunteerism, will provide a versatile space for multidisciplinary training, outreach, interagency collaboration, and educational initiatives. This visionary project represents an unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of the community, empowering first responders with the resources they need to serve Gallatin County effectively.
