The “All American Open House” will be 5-8 p.m. Tuesday at the sheriff’s office headquarters at 705 Hanover St. in Hamilton.
The event will include K-9 demonstrations, drone flying, and equipment from SWAT, Emergency Response Services and corrections will be on display. Plus, there will be plenty of free food and drinks.
“Doesn’t cost anything, they already paid for it with their tax dollars. It’s about giving back to the community. And it is good for the police too. It is a safe event for families and all are welcome,” Jones said.
In 2000, the sheriff’s office and county commissioners began construction of the Butler County Corrections Center (county jail) at a cost of approximately $40 million. The Butler County Operational Headquarters and Corrections Center (sheriff’s office headquarters) completely opened in August 2002.
“It seems like it was just five years ago,” Jones said remembering the day they broke ground at the site a bit removed from the former downtown location. “It was an old railroad train site, they built railroad cars there. A pretty unique location and part of the city.”
