The three-storey building at Sherwood Lodge in Arnold, Nottingham, contains shared office space, conference rooms, a new multi-agency strategic and tactical control room, a new police control room, new training classrooms, a sports hall, gymnasium and canteen.
Other key features include the completion of a new circular access road, the installation of an outdoor exercise trail for staff and a joint memorial garden dedicated to the memory of staff from both organisations who have died in service.

The building was constructed on time and on budget by lead contractor Henry Brothers Limited.
Senior officers from both services welcomed a small number of guests to the site to mark the key handover of the new build and the formal adoption of the wider site.
Managing Director of contractor Henry Brothers Midlands, Ian Taylor, said: "We are very pleased to have handed over this new joint headquarters building for Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service.
"The Henry Brothers' team was incredibly proud to have been selected to build this facility for our emergency services - supporting many local jobs on the site and in the wider local supply chain. We are delighted to have completed a project which will play such an important role in supporting the Nottinghamshire community in the future."
