The Eanes-Pittman Public Safety Training center is a jointly managed state-of-the-art training facility that was completed in 1994. This facility has classroom and training areas specifically dedicated for Police Department training, Fire Department and EMS training, and shared facilities. These shared facilities are available for other county training. The Fire Department has four, forty-student classrooms, including an electronically operated fire simulator, a conference room and administrative offices. The Technical Services Unit of the Training and Safety Division offers high quality video and computer graphics work to support the mission of Fire, Police and EMS training. The building also houses the Public Safety Television Network. Shared facilities include a physical training area and locker rooms; four shared classrooms with moveable walls that provide multiple configurations for varying size groups; and a communications training classroom with the capability to receive via satellite. This facility was named after retired Fire Chief Robert Eanes and retired Police Chief Joseph E. Pittman, Jr.
