Koester outlines budget and staffing for Charles County Sheriff race
Koester proposes trimming helicopter use to cut costs while expanding patrols with more deputies and patrol cars if elected. He backs a new jail integrated into a master facility plan and opposes housing juveniles with adults. He favors moving civil processing offices to courthouse space and maintaining staff efficiency through division coordination. Training hours would rise to 600 per deputy, with long‑time officers grandfathered in.

County to Seek Funds for Juvenile Detention Center
The St. Charles County Court moves toward funding a new detention facility for juveniles after delays and federal reviews threaten the sheriff’s plan. Architects say current plans fail to separate juveniles and adults, risking compliance with the Juvenile Delinquency Act of 1974. The project awaits National Clearing House approval before EDA consideration.
