Detention Bureau

Major Glenn Kurtz Bureau Commander 316.383.7711 |
The Detention Bureau of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office is composed of the operations and support divisions. Each has a vital role in the efficient operation of the detention facility. The Operations Division addresses the day-to-day work and concerns of housing over 1,500 inmates in a safe, secure and humane manner. The Support Division provides those necessary services to augment and support the Operations Division. Working in a modern pre-trial housing facility is a profession that requires a deep commitment to ensuring that all inmates in the Sheriff’s custody are provided with safe and humane treatment consistent with applicable standards, laws and community expectations. A commitment to public service is only the beginning. To become a detention deputy requires that one must first pass a rigorous background investigation, followed by eleven weeks of formal academy instruction. This is then followed by a six-week Field Training program. Only then is a detention deputy ready to begin a career in which not everyone can succeed. While in custody, all inmates are provided with the essentials of human life; including medical/mental health care, nutritious meals, a clean environment and the opportunity for maintaining family and personal contacts. The Detention Bureau resembles the operation of a small city. This city operates a medical clinic, a school (GED classes), postal system (the opening and inspection of inmate mail), law enforcement (to maintain discipline) and a court system (when the inmate fails to follow the facility rules).
