Emergency services for the City of Wausau reside in a public safety building located near the downtown. A plan to modernize the fire department would reduce the fire presence within the facility. Recognizing the need for improvements in the police department, the City contracted with Five Bugles Design to study current workflow in the department, examined current and future space needs, developed panning to re-utilize fire department space for policing functions, and recommended additions and remodeling to resolve discovered deficiencies.
