Emmetsburg, IA (KICD)– Officials in Palo Alto County are continuing to work on plans that will hopefully replace the aging law enforcement facility in Emmetsburg, a project that has been in the works for several years.
Sheriff Lynn Schultes sat down with KICD News to talk about project saying the current facility that houses the Sheriff’s Office, jail and Communications Center is one of the oldest in the state and currently carries a number of safety concerns.
Sheriff Schultes says the current facility, that was built in 1908, limits the number of inmates and classifications Palo Alto County can house at any time.
