A new training center building could cost up to $70 million.
Tarrant County will look at more options for training its sheriff’s office employees beyond building a training center like what was originally planned, commissioners decided at their Tuesday meeting.
The amended feasibility study will now look into three new options for training sheriff’s deputies and detention officers. Among those options are keeping training operations at the sheriff’s office center at the Resource Connection in southwest Fort Worth. That plan would include renovating or expanding the building to meet programming needs and possibly building a firing range.
Another is blending training at the Resource Connection and the law enforcement center at the Tarrant County College District Northwest Campus. As a part of that plan, commissioners would also evaluate building an indoor firing range at the TCC campus. The last option is moving training operations from the Resource Connection to the TCC Northwest Campus, as well as expanding the Northwest Criminal Justice Center and the Northwest Police Firing Range to include shared meeting and training spaces, an indoor gun range, mock village, mock jail cells, weight room, classrooms, lockers and restrooms, according to agenda documents.Simmons wanted to delay the vote until commissioners received a presentation on the new plans.
