City of Los Angeles — Consolidated Airport Police Facility

Chrysalis Global's Nonprofit and Government team partnered with Chrysalis's Aviation staff to support the City of Los Angeles in opening the $220 million Consolidated Airport Police Facility at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), a transformative project that brought together the airport’s dispersed law enforcement operations into one modern, purpose-built complex. Completed in 2021, the 160,000-square-foot facility consolidated seven separate buildings, uniting more than 1,100 officers and civilian staff from multiple divisions of the Los Angeles Airport Police into a single, strategically located headquarters. The new complex was designed to enhance collaboration, streamline operations, and improve emergency response capabilities for one of the nation’s busiest airports. It featured dedicated spaces for administration, training, and specialized units, as well as a multi-bay vehicle maintenance facility, a secure armory, and holding areas. The design incorporated sustainable features and advanced security systems tailored to the unique needs of an active aviation environment. Working in coordination with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), Chrysalis provided industry-leading change management, relocation management, and logistical planning services to ensure a smooth transition. The engagement included developing and delivering training and orientation programs to familiarize staff with the new facility, coordinating and executing trials and simulations to validate operational readiness, and managing the complex, phased physical move from seven active facilities into one fully functional headquarters. By ensuring a seamless operational transition, Chrysalis helped the City of Los Angeles achieve its goals of improved public safety coordination, operational efficiency, and enhanced security at LAX. The facility now serves as one of the largest airport law enforcement headquarters in the United States and a model for integrated public safety operations in the aviation sector.
