Home My WebLink About2025-09-02 MPD The Meridian Police Department is equipped to service this development if approved, as it already provides coverage for this geographic area. For any climate controlled multi-family developments, the Meridian Police Department requires police access into each building’s entry point using a multi-technology keypad per UDC 11-4-3- 27G. This will allow police access, if there is an emergency, into the building if someone isn’t able to come to the door to allow police entrance. Otherwise, police would have to breach the door to gain access which isn’t ideal for anyone and delays our response. This does not apply to Garden Style multi-family developments. In addition, if the development has vertically integrated buildings incorporated into this development, the Meridian Police Department request these buildings also be designed to have the same multi-technology keypads. Note that this is not required by code for vertically integrated buildings but would greatly assist law enforcement in emergencies. Knowing this is a vertically integrated project, the police would like to request multi-technology keypads for access into the development for emergency calls for service. Police will work with the applicant on placement of these keypads if needed. Police will have their own access code (same for each building) to use in an emergency and will have to be coordinated with the supervisor of Meridian PD Code Enforcement. All townhomes and or multi-family units shall be clearly marked with addresses and unit numbers visible day or night for emergency response. The applicant shall place a way-ﬁnding map at each entrance that is visible day or night. All qualiﬁed open space provided in the development, to include all amenities, must be in an open area to allow for natural observation opportunities. Pathways and landscaping should not create hiding spots or blind spots that would promote criminal opportunities. The Meridian Police Department will support all Community Development Sta? recommendations, Tra?ic Impact Studies from ITD and ACHD to improve access, roadways, intersections, pathways and sidewalks before the project is fully completed.
