Public Safety Heliport

Not applicable, as the heliport is not closed. The misclassification likely stems from its status as a private, government-use-only (PPR - Prior Permission Required) facility. Because it is not open to the public, it is not listed in many public-facing aviation directories, which can be misinterpreted as it being 'closed'.

The site is an active and fully operational heliport. It is located within the secure perimeter of the Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Center at 11550 W. Glendale Ave, Glendale, AZ. The heliport is used exclusively by the Glendale Police Department Air Support Unit and other authorized public safety agencies for training and official operations. It is a private facility and is strictly off-limits to the public.

The heliport is a key component of the state-of-the-art Glendale Regional Public Safety Training Center (GRPSTC), which opened in 2007. It was built to serve as a critical training and operational site for the air support units of the Glendale Police and Fire Departments, as well as other regional public safety agencies. Operations handled at the heliport include routine takeoffs and landings, tactical training for law enforcement (such as fast-roping and insertion/extraction exercises), simulated medical evacuations, and coordination for large-scale incident response training.

Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed to its designated users. There are no plans to make it a public-use facility.
