DeFUNIAK SPRINGS An almost four-year project came to fruition Thursday as numerous community leaders celebrated the completion of the Walton Works Public Safety Complex with a ribbon cutting.
The complex, located at the Walton County Sheriff’s Office in DeFuniak Springs, is comprised of a fire tower and a driving pad to be used jointly by Northwest Florida State College and the WCSO.
The complex is an addition to the Walton Works Training Center of Excellence, which was completed earlier this year and is designed to help expand public safety training in Walton County.
“This is an opportunity to create the best and brightest here, and if you want the best and brightest you have to have control over it,” said Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson. “You need to have a hand in the way they’re being trained for the future.”
