Last Friday, the team at Ideal Construction was proud to celebrate the grand opening of the new training facility for Arkansas Division on Law Enforcement Standards and Training (ADLEST) at the Arkansas Law Enforcement Training Academy in East Camden, Arkansas.
This project represents a major investment in the future of law enforcement training across our state. The new main training facility includes classroom space, indoor training areas, and simulator space designed to better prepare officers through realistic, scenario-based training environments. The project also included a new 20,000-square-foot multipurpose live-fire range and renovations to existing campus housing to better accommodate recruits and visiting officers.
We are thankful for the opportunity to support law enforcement through this project and are honored to have partnered with Cromwell Architects Engineers, ADLEST, and the many subcontractors and partners who helped make this project possible.
A special thank you to the entire Ideal team that worked so hard to bring this project to completion. Projects like this take a tremendous amount of effort, coordination, and commitment from a lot of people behind the scenes, and we are proud of the work our team accomplished.
For 78 years, Ideal Construction has been committed to helping build projects that add value to Arkansas communities, and we are proud to have been part of this important investment in East Camden.
