The Goldstein Partnership's police and court facilities have set the standard to which others aspire. Integrating the programmatic complexities of these specialized facilities with the numerous regulations and codes governing their construction, we have consistently produced distinguished public safety buildings characterized by simplicity, clarity, and functionality. We never lose sight of the fact that justice buildings are - first and foremost - public buildings, and that we therefore have a responsibility to make them welcoming, safe, and secure for the public.

“As a law enforcement executive, I was particularly impressed with Eli Goldstein’s knowledge of specific law enforcement needs. This was one unique trait that set The Goldstein Partnership apart...”

-James N. Batelli, Chief of Police, Mahwah Twp.
 
Police buildings have a unique combination of requirements. They typically contain a mix of uses, including offices, places of assembly, and detention facilities. They must accommodate a mix of users, including the public, uniformed personnel, civilian employees, and detainees. Their departments operate on a variety of schedules, with key functions operating round the clock. They are repositories of important records, and, as such, are critical to the integrity of the chain of custody for property and evidence. They house weapons and ammunition. Their must meet extremely stringent structural, mechanical, and electrical standards. And finally, their radio, security, and telecommunications systems must be reliable and secure.

The organization of each of our police buildings is based on the organization of the police department it is intended to serve. Planning for the circulation of various user groups and for the interfaces between them is a fundamental part of our design process. Our thorough coordination of the many engineering disciplines helps assure the success of each completed building. Our thoughtful selection of materials and systems enables easy and economical operation, maintenance, and servicing over the life of the building. And, our foresight in the deployment of relatively fixed elements, such as columns, bearing walls, and chases, helps the building accommodate long-term change.

“Mr. Goldstein demonstrated great skill in translating our needs into functional designs...”

-Robert Cimino, Chief of Police, Maplewood Township
 

The Goldstein Partnership brings a similar approach and commitment to the design of court facilities. Our designs typically exceed the regulatory requirements of the Administrative Office of the Courts and accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The dignity of our courtrooms is matched by their functionality: Audiovisual, telecommunications, access control, acoustics, and emergency response provisions are integrated seamlessly into each design.
