(Future) Metro East Regional Headquarters

9/22 - HQ will move to East St Louis New Link
New $55 million, 62,000-square-foot facility with a 21,000-square-foot warehouse; should be completed around 2026-2027
Planning, site acquisition, and construction of a new facility to accommodate in excess of 180 ISP personnel and include the following ISP work units: Troop 8 (D11) Patrol Headquarters, Communications Service Bureau, Zone 6 Investigations, Division of Internal Investigations, Illinois Gaming Board, Medicaid Fraud Control Bureau, and South SWAT. All of these work units currently are located in the Regional State building in Collinsville (shared with IDOT), with the exception of South SWAT. The Regional State building work units occupy approximately 50,000 square feet of space. In addition to this space, South SWAT would require approximately 2,500 square feet of office space and 12,500 square feet of storage space. Relocating South SWAT to the Metro-East area in a new facility would provide adequate storage for specialty equipment and would provide for better response times in an area of the state with a growing significance for SWAT services. Relocating investigations and patrol will also have force-multiplying effects in reducing violent crime and improving traffic safety enforcement in high-crime, low-resource areas that are increasingly reliant upon the ISP for public safety services. This new facility should include a new firing range and training room which is critical to maintaining standards and improving safety outcomes in high risk situations. A combined facility would also enhance operational efficiencies for these work units. Finally, construction of a new facility will allow the

ISP to combine several work locations reducing yearly repair and maintenance costs and eliminate the need to lease specialty space for SWAT.

Patrol Areas

Metro
55 North (along I-55 though Madison, Macoupin, Montgomery Counties)

Air Operations Center

Located at Mid-America Airport in Mascoutah. 2 ISP officers use a Cessna 182 equipped with FLIR heat seeking system, which can be used to search for missing persons, surveillance, etc.

Community Patrol Team (COMPAT)

pursuing endeavors to collaborate with community and law enforcement partners while providing law enforcement services focused on violent crime in the Metro-East communities of East St. Louis and Washington Park. The COMPAT is comprised of specialty trained officers assigned to conduct overt and covert criminal enforcement operations in high crime areas. Despite the challenges faced by COVID-19, COMPAT continues to be the proactive and has a visible presence in the Metro-East with focus not only on enforcement but assisting other agencies and engaging with the community. Ideally, as staffing increases and the ability to staff COMPAT in the Metro-East footprint on closer to a 24/7 basis, the community will become familiar with the professional ISP officers and increased community trust will occur.
