The new Guthrie County law enforcement center continues construction after the expected completion date keeps moving back. 

Guthrie County Sheriff Marty Arganbright says that it is frustrating that supply chain issues due to the pandemic are still affecting the project. Arganbright tells Raccoon Valley Radio that he doesn’t know the completion date but estimates it will be  sometime late fall or in the winter. 

“ You know, I’m just happy and as a sheriff that we will get a new facility. A new jail. My jail, current jail is completely full. I have warrants that need to be served. It’s good to know that. That sometime in the future, it’ll be completed.”

Arganbright says there is still a big check list that needs to be done including final hookups, implementing the security doors, adding new dispatch technology and much more. Arganbright adds they will use the current law enforcement center as storage space for evidence or a conference or meeting room.
