SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND DETENTION CENTER

  
In the fall of 2016, with the completion of the new sheriff's office facility, Miami County will be staffing a new state of the art 96 bed detention center.  The opening of the new facility brings with it many new opportunities for individuals interested in a career in law enforcement and public service.  The facility offers the convenience of having all functions of the Sheriff’s Office under one roof, including the jail, communications center, administrative offices and onsite records / evidence retention.  A new community room offers staff and citizens a comfortable place to host in-house training and meetings for many of the county's community programs including Cops for Tots, Citizen's Academy, Explorer Post and Neighborhood Watch.  Staff will have access to the new onsite fitness / wellness room, complete with weightlifting and cardio equipment facilitating healthy lifestyles.
