In October 2004 the Allen County Sheriff’s Department proudly introduced a brand new correctional facility.  The correctional facility is capable of housing 76 inmates to include 10 females and 66 males.  The correctional facility contracts with other local agencies to house their inmates.  Since we opened our new doors in 2004 we have brought in an approximate $1, 582, 444.00 in revenue.  This money has been used to make payments on the bond without the use of tax dollars and to offset cost within the facility.

"The transition to move from one jail to the next was not easy however thanks to the strong will of the staff and the support of the citizens we now manage a top quality facility.  We are very proud of how far we have come given some of the obstacles we had to endure" Joni Tucker, Jail Administrator.
