UPDATE!!!

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office has moved its front office to the new building located at 5643 Highway 412 Business in Huntsville.

We have also started limited jail operations at the new facility to get detention deputies acclimated to the new procedures and security controls. New prisoners are currently being received there, and we anticipate being fully operational by the end of the month.

Dispatch is slated to move to the new location July 8, which will bring all three of the divisions together under one roof for the first time in nearly fifteen years.

This has been a long and arduous process, but it is finally happening! We understand the frustrations and disappointment on the delays because we have felt those same feelings. There are still some kinks to work out, but we are not letting anything hold us back any longer.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office wants to thank everyone who helped make this possible!
