The Wayne County Sheriff has announced work is underway on replacing the Wayne County Jail’s 26 year old detention control system. Sheriff Mike Everett says the original system that was installed has grown obsolete and is now past the option of repair. In an effort to save the county the cost of installing a brand new system, the law enforcement leader says he was able to partner with Montgomery Technology, the outfit that installed the original system, and they’ll be able to use many of the parts currently used in the new system upgrade. Sheriff Everett says the move is going to save county taxpayers nearly $100,000 and will allow the county to affordably upgrade the system.
