Burien, WA
In alignment with Washington State’s commitment to sustainability and clean energy, the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC) has completed the installation of five Level 2 dual electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on its Burien campus.
The project, funded through a $219,000 federal grant awarded by the Department of Enterprise Services (DES), was finalized in May 2025 at a total cost of $203,822. These new stations support the charging needs of WSCJTC recruits, staff, visitors, and the state’s electric fleet.
To encourage early adoption, charging sessions were offered free of charge during June. During that time, the stations were used 79 times, preventing approximately 1,527 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions—the equivalent of planting 39 trees and allowing them to grow for 10 years.
As of July 1, a competitive flat charging rate of $0.28 per kilowatt-hour is in effect, aligning with best practices and sustainability goals across state agencies.
WSCJTC also reallocated internal resources to purchase three 2025 Nissan Leaf EVs, aligning with the clean energy goals outlined during Governor Inslee’s administration and completed under the leadership of Governor Ferguson.
This project reflects WSCJTC’s commitment to environmental responsibility, innovation, and long-term sustainability. By investing in EV infrastructure and fleet vehicles, we’re doing our part to help build a safer, healthier Washington.
Established in 1974, WSCJTC provides training to law enforcement, corrections officers, and other public safety professionals. Its mission is to establish certification and training standards to ensure that criminal justice professionals are equipped to protect the communities they serve.
