SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT MOVES TO NEW OFFICE

ANDY TALLMAN

MISSOULA COUNTY

One year after purchase, most of the Missoula County Sheriff 's Office has moved into a new building on Mullan Road, across from the detention center.

That means all walk-ins, fingerprinting and weapons permits will be handled at the new location, though some services, such as civil services, warrants and records will remain at the old location on the second floor of the county courthouse on West Broadway. The bailiff s will also remain at the courthouse, and the space freed up by the move will host pretrial services and youth district court.

The county attempted to purchase the building at 2415 Mullan Road, formerly used for probation and parole, in 2019. Instead, it was sold to Walla Walla University, who then sold it to the county last year for $2 millio
