On Tuesday, July 16, 2019, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a preview of the new Washington County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Training Center.
Located at 600 SW Walnut Street in Hillsboro, this $20 million facility has been in the works for several years. The 116,029 square foot building was designed to be an all-inclusive training center for law enforcement. It features offices, classrooms, two indoor shooting ranges, an outdoor emergency vehicle training course, defensive tactics mat rooms, an armory, and the region’s largest scenario village and mock jail.
This new center brings all types of training into one centralized location. We believe this valuable resource will improve public safety training for not only our agency, but for our partner agencies as well, resulting in improved public safety for everyone.
The invitation-only event was attended by local dignitaries, community leaders and various stakeholders in Washington County. Washington County Board of Commissioners Chair Kathryn Harrington and Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett spoke at this special event.
