The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office is undertaking a parking lot and security enhancement project at the Gwinnett County Detention Center. The project includes infrastructure improvements designed to enhance employee safety, strengthen facility security, and support the Sheriff's Office's long-term operational needs.

Construction is scheduled to begin on July 31, 2026.

Construction is expected to continue through mid- to late November 2026. While every effort will be made to adhere to the project schedule, timelines may change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
