Sheriff Department officials say due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the department is taking steps to safeguard inmates, staff and the public. Changes going into effect immediately include the suspension of on-site visits along with all jail programs including substance abuse programs, church services, Bible studies, and any other programs that are facilitated by individuals from the general public that require entrance to the jail. All public contact with the jail will be limited to professional staff and attorney’s only, and will go through a screening process before entry into the facility. On-line video visitation will remain available for inmate visits remotely.
