The Christian County Sheriff's Office has been approved for the relocation of their new office. The current office is located at 301 West Franklin Street in Taylorville. The new CC Sheriff’s office will reside at 214 West Market Street in Taylorville, the building once served as the Christian County solid waste building.

The new facility made for the perfect new home for the CC Sheriff’s office because of the minimal amount of renovations that are needed. Chief Deputy Jim Baker for the CC Sheriffs' Office says there will be an ample number of offices for the needs of the officers and administration. Baker says space for evidence storage was becoming an issue at the old location, the basement of the Market Street office is spacious and will serve as evidence storage.

Baker explains that the new location will provide areas for large meetings and even training for officers. The added meeting areas will make space for recorded interview rooms, Baker notes these will be conducive to their operations.

Baker says this will be a fast-paced re-model and the funds are received through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Baker explained how the relationship between the CC Sheriff's Office and the county board has made the process smooth over the past six months. He thanks the board for their cooperation and partnership during the relocation.
