C.A.S.T.L.E. | Center for Advanced Skills Training in Law Enforcement

Wright Construction Services is proud to be the selected general contractor for the C.A.S.T.L.E. project — the Center for Advanced Skills Training in Law Enforcement, opening in 2026. This facility marks one of the most significant regional public safety initiatives in Missouri’s history, driven through a partnership between the City of O’Fallon and the City of St. Charles.

Located on an 87-acre site off Highway 79 north of Interstate 70, the new training campus will serve as a centralized hub where law enforcement agencies across Missouri — and from out of state — can train together, share expertise, and build stronger, safer communities.

About the CASTLE Project

The Center for Advanced Skills Training in Law Enforcement is designed to bring every major law-enforcement training component onto one campus — a first in Missouri. The co-located design is a transformational shift for agencies, allowing officers to complete:

Classroom training
Indoor and outdoor firing range training
Driving and EVOC training
Force-on-force and scenario-based simulations

Having all training environments in one location significantly improves scheduling, planning, operational efficiency, and long-term budgeting for departments across the region. The facility will also function as an economic development driver by attracting officers and agencies nationwide for training, events, and conferences.

Recent Progress — March 2026

Construction remains ahead of schedule across several key areas:

EVOC Track: The final concrete pour for the high-speed Emergency Vehicle Operations Course has been completed, marking a major milestone for one of the project’s signature features.
Fleet Building: Work is beginning on the first building slab, advancing vertical construction efforts.
Range Pavilion: Footings are now underway, preparing for upcoming structural development.
Structural Steel: Steel erection is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.
Firing Range Acoustics: Completed two months ahead of schedule, exceeding initial project timelines.

In addition, mass grading and site development continue across the campus, supporting upcoming phases of construction.

Project Impact

C.A.S.T.L.E. represents a transformational investment in public safety infrastructure. By consolidating training environments into one location, the facility will:

Improve efficiency and coordination for law enforcement agencies
Support joint training and interagency collaboration
Enhance regional safety and response capabilities
Attract statewide and national training activity to St. Charles County

Wright Construction is proud to partner with the City of O’Fallon and the City of St. Charles on this impactful project and looks forward to continued progress in the months ahead.
