The members of the Rotary Club of West Polk County had a unique opportunity. The group was able to tour the Dallas County, Iowa Law Enforcement Center, which was opened in 2020. The tour was led by newly appointed Sheriff Adam Infante, who has spent many years with the department in different capacities.
This center is not only home to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, but also a jail facility, which can house up to 132 people currently and was built to be expanded, should that be necessary in the future. Club members learned that this is truly a state of the art facility with modern intake areas, multiple pods allowing for a safe and secure environment for both prisoners and staff. The facility includes office space for employees of the jail and the Sheriff's Department, interrogation rooms, a full kitchen, and a training room, which can also be accessed by the community for certain meetings and events.
Our club would like to publicly thank Sheriff Infante for taking time to show us the facility and for helping us to better understand the tremendous amount of important work that takes place at the facility.
