The North DPS Trailing Facility represents the culminating phase of a trio of establishments intended to accommodate essential services for the City of Southlake. This multifunctional facility includes a fire services station, police substation, fire and police trailing facilities. Notably, it has been thoughtfully designed to enhance emergency response times on the north side of the city while also providing a dedicated space for internal training purposes.

DPS North was designed for more than emergency response. Equipped with three classrooms and an auditorium that can seat up to 100 people and has four flat screen monitors, surround sound and live streaming capabilities, it is meant to be a training center for internal purposes, as well as public and regional events. The adjacent underground gun range will also be made available to other DPS departments. A range master and two training officers (one for police and one for fire) are stationed at the facility and additional office space is available as the training program expands.

The DPS North Station also includes a walk-in clinic to assist injured persons, a kitchen and break area for training attendees, and a fitness room and living/sleeping quarters for fire personnel that were designed for quicker access to the engine bay.
