The Village of Miami Shores is landlocked with open space at a premium. The police department was located in an older two-story facility which was originally used as retail and office space. CPS was retained to undertake a space needs study to determine current and future space needs. Located adjacent to the police department was a two story facility owned by Catholic Charities. The charity intended to vacate the facility to consolidate services in another location. Our study also examined this facility for renovation or removal and looked at the possibility of constructing a new police facility on the combined sites.
