The rebuilt fire station in Ipswich would provide extra space for a police base
An artist's impression of a £3.9m joint police and fire station has been unveiled.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, external and Suffolk Police, external hope to share a rebuilt Princes Street fire station in Ipswich.
If plans are approved, police will move from their current offices in Museum Street.
Suffolk's Police and Crime Commissioner Tim Passmore said: "Working together is absolutely key to meet the financial challenges that we face."
The proposed design includes a dedicated office for the local policing team and interview rooms for police.
The police and fire service will submit the plans for approval to Ipswich Borough Council at a later date.
The funding of the project will be shared between the two services, along with support from the government.
