Paulding County Jail & Sheriff's Office

Client Objective

The new Paulding County Jail & Sheriff's Office headquarters in Dallas, GA, broke ground in 2018 and opened in 2020 with the mission to work collectively with the community in order to keep citizens safe and free of crime by upholding the ideals outlined in the Constitution of the United States of America in a fair and respectful way.

The new jail doubled the total number of inmate beds than the previous jail provided. The new development also includes a new administrative space for the sheriff's office and the county government's first dedicated morgue. NTI is proud to have served as the technology consultant for the new jail and sheriff's office headquarters.

The new 660 bed, 133,000 SF jail is built on a 25-acre site and replaces a 25-year-old 200-bed facility. The 58,000 SF sheriff's office headquarters is adjacent to the jail. The new Sheriff's Office consolidates all divisions under one roof, making it easier for citizens. It will also help the Sheriff's Office run more efficiently because everyone will operate out of the same building. And it will also cut down on the risk of transporting inmates to court because of the enclosed walkway from the new jail to the courthouse.
