By PHILLIP SMITH-HANES Saline County Administrator

Construction continues at a brisk pace on the new Saline County Jail and Sheriff's Office. Today's theme is 12. For May 12, we have 12 photos to share with you, and we're also still looking to hire 12 more Correctional Officers.

The county expects to take possession of the facility from the construction team at the end of September. October and November will be opportunities for public tours, staff training and exercise of building systems. Inmates are anticipated to be housed in the new jail by early December.

As mentioned above, we are still hiring new staff for the facility. If you know someone who would be a good candidate for us, please encourage them to apply on&nbsp;<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001MYrQz483ovXvWudO56LJCv-FKxchDpK1BFGPi8oGSwCeC70MMj0o3YO2XPGB3bPg3bo84ybMdWDSwfZbgjCm3iZgcPjArIi45R7jHNNo2mPYKcnhOL7JMwlV6FXX5c1a7Da7Iw91o9b_a5dkexo8knEl4txuDxkxM4e2hU30YboVJasu0FMbDw==&amp;c=BCnW-BX3NSMxEH7X-s92WsgHC4HibP1ZKdOH1WfAUP5qB8ief_HhYw==&amp;ch=85Fvbmrsvavognt4b6xW3nMlfn27zDP-i_16F08QW8-o-DzENtS-6w==" target="_blank">our website</a>.
