Long time Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis was our guest tonight and as always he made an informative presentation. He started with an update on the Sheriff Department's soon-to-be-fully operational $40 million new building just west of Salisbury. Years in the planning, funding, and construction phases, this new 60,000 square foot building, compared to the present 13,000 square foot headquarters, is designed for 70 years of usefulness according to Sheriff Lewis.
This new structure has bullet resistant walls and glass, a wellness center and gymnasium, and facilities for the proper care and lodging of police dogs.
Sheriff Lewis said this new facility has been good for employee retention and the recruitment of new deputies.
He spent a good portion of his time with the Rotary Club of Salisbury answering questions on quite a few topics and closed by announcing he was going to run for re-election next year after earlier saying he was going to not seek another term in office.
