Now Is The Time For Public Safety Center By Staff | Feb 25, 2021 To the Editor: I am asking for the citizens of Palo Alto County to support the upcoming bond referendum for the new Palo Alto County Public Safety Center. I have worked for the Palo Alto County Sheriff’s Office since July 2005. Over that time period, there has been a lot of changes at the Sheriff’s Office. One thing however remains the same, the current structure housing the Jail, Communication Center, and the Sheriff’s Office.

This vote will determine how various aspects of law enforcement will be handled in the future and how they may affect you, the public. With that being said, one important reason for voting YES would be to ensure that a Deputy is available to respond to the needs of the citizens of our county. There is a very real possibility that if this vote does not pass that our current county jail will be closed down due to not being able to pass the state standards. If this happens, all inmates would be housed in another county. This will result in our offices doing numerous transports back and forth from our county to where the inmate is housed. If our deputies are busy transporting inmates for medical appointments, court hearings and other various appointmen ....
