The Christian County Sheriff’s Department has been in the process of relocating to their new office and jail space located at 214 West Market Street in Taylorville. Chief Deputy Jim Baker of the Christian County Sheriff’s Department is looking forward to the move as the new space will provide updated facilities, security, and evidence storage space.

Structural renovations have slowed the moving process but Chief Deputy Baker thanks the Christian County Board for their help in this process.

After working with architects, Chief Deputy Baker says the new location looks to be up and running in early spring of 2024.

The new Market Street location will bring many benefits to the Sheriff’s Office, after some structural renovations, Chief Deputy Baker says all the new location needs is a facelift.

With many items to address like security cameras, key systems, and meeting areas, the Christian County Sheriff’s Department is ready to utilize their new space.
