Formerly Wilson Estes Police Architects, we recently changed our name to Police Facility Design Group to more clearly communicate who we are and what we do. Police Facility Design Group was founded in 1978 as "Polson Architects, Law Enforcement Specialists", following the completion of participation in a four-year federal study to understand the limitations deficient facilities have on the delivery of police services.
The firm, originally located in Champaign, Illinois, moved to Kansas City in 1986. Architect James Estes joined the firm that year, succeeding Polson in 1998. The firm's focus continued to be exclusively dedicated to public safety facility planning and design. To further this goal, and after many years of providing facility planning assistance and instruction through the IACP, the firm founded the Police Facility Planning Institute (PFPI).
