State of the MC Sheriff’s Office

Saturday, July 1, is the six-month mark since taking office as your Sheriff here at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MSCO). The time has certainly gone by quickly as each day seems to bring new challenges or new opportunities for learning. As an update, here are some highlights of what we have been working on: We are still in the process of solidifying a 2023 budget. There are many challenges from the cost of everything going up (as you well know), to maintaining a facility of this nature, as well as providing for the medical and daily needs of inmates. We have been digging into the details of these expenses and implementing processes and procedures to keep those costs down as much as possible.
