Maximum Security Team

For the safety and security of the citizens of Johnson County, the Sheriff’s Office has developed and currently maintains a Maximum Security Team in the Adult Detention Center. 

The main objective of this team is to ensure the safety of the deputies, the inmates and the citizens of Johnson County by maintaining a high degree of integrity, discipline and structure within the environment that they work.  The areas within the Adult Detention Center that this team oversees are comprised of the maximum security modules, administrative segregation modules, disciplinary segregation modules and the protective custody modules. 

The Maximum Security Team is also trained specifically for working in this environment and in how to deal with the types of individuals that are housed in these high risk modules as some of the modules contain inmates from all custody levels. 

This team also employs its own training officers that are trained in teaching the proper procedures and techniques of the modules under its control, and works in close collaboration with the Classifications division in order to maintain a clear and open path of communication between these two areas of the Adult Detention Centers. 

This specific combination of high caliber officers, specific training, and open communication with other divisions has lead to a much safer area within the Adult Detention Center.  This in turn leads to a safer place for deputies to work, for inmates to be housed, and most importantly for the citizens of Johnson County.
