Osceola County residents and others are invited to get a behind-the-scenes look at local public safety operations during a public open house at the new Osceola County Jail and Communications Center.
The open house will take place on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 309 6th Street in Sibley. Visitors are asked to use the west side entrance of the building.
Osceola County Sheriff Kevin Wollmuth tells us some of the advantages the new building offers.
“I think that’s going to be nice about it. There’s no stairs. Everything’s on ground level, so that’s going to be a lot safer than what we have right now, because we have several stairs that the employees and the inmates have to go up and down and stairs are never good. So this one’s all on the same level. And just the technology purposes, new software programs that comes with these things, with these new jails are just fabulous and it’s going to make things a lot more efficient.”
Organizers say the event offers community members an opportunity to tour the new facility, learn more about the services provided, and see how local public safety professionals work together to keep Osceola County safe. Attendees will be able to take a firsthand look at the new investment in public safety and see how it will serve the county for years to come.
The event is free and open to the public.
