AUDUBON — The entire division of the Audubon County Sheriff's Department will not be relocated from the Audubon County Courthouse, but portions of the department will be relocated to Memorial Hall for individual bookings and interviews, and other departments will be relocated within the courthouse. . There is construction going on there.
Audubon County Sheriff Todd Johnson said, “The Audubon County Sheriff's Department and dispatch units will not be moving outside of the courthouse during construction, but will be relocating inside the courthouse.”
“As this courthouse is inaccessible, the public will be asked to contact the Sheriff's Department and/or Police Department by phone or by using the south entrance of the courthouse,” he said.
The portion of the sheriff's office that will be relocated to the old police station will be used for services that cannot be performed at the courthouse during construction.
“We have requested space within the former police station at Memorial to process, interview, and conduct OWI testing of arrested individuals while the facility is unavailable,” said Sheriff Johnson. . The public may not go to the memorial for assistance unless directed to do so by dispatch or law enforcement officials. Thank you for your patience during this time. ”
Earlier this year, Police Chief Kobe Gast told the City Council that the Audubon Police Department would be moving to the new City Hall location, but the move would wait until warmer weather and new security equipment such as cameras were installed. Ta.
