(KLZA)-- Richardson County Sheriff Rick Hardesty discussed the idea of increasing the inmate capacity of the jail at the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center when he met with the County Commissioners on Tuesday.
The facility currently has 24 beds for inmates. Currently several Richardson County inmates are being held at the Nemaha County Jail in Auburn due to the Richardson County facility being full.
No decision was made.
Sheriff Hardesty also reported he has been in contact with the Superintendent at the HTRS School regarding the hiring of a school resource officer and they have determined that it will not be feasible at this time.
