New state-of-the-art emergency services station opens in Hartsfield-Jackson

ATLANTA — Two new state-of-the-art facilities are officially operational and open at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Monday morning, Atlanta Airport officials and Atlanta Police Department leaders gathered to open the emergency services precinct and maintenance facilities.

At the event, APD Chief Darin Schierbaum said the facility will help Atlanta officers keep the world’s busiest airport secure.

“An important part of our recruiting efforts is that our men and women have the appropriate constituencies to serve,” Schierbaum said. “We have to be very professional in what we do so we are constantly in a state of training. This will help support this training initiative.

The police chief said the new station would help officers respond more quickly and efficiently to emergencies at the airport.
