The center, located next to the already-built sheriff's office shooting range at 8160 Chandler Road, Hutto, will feature two classrooms as well as offices for recruiting and instructors.Specialty training rooms in the new facility will also provide:
- classroom officer training
- defensive tactics
- driving simulations
- officer fitness
Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody said the center will allow for the corrections department and law enforcement to be under the same roof.
"It makes for a better streamline of county resources," Chody said. "Williamson County is honored and proud to see this project go up and to [eventually] be a host to other law enforcement from around the nation."
The project was designed by Brinkley Sargent Wiginton, and American Constructors was awarded the construction contract for a guaranteed maximum price of $7,994,640.
Work is expected to be complete by winter 2017.
