A court room at the Great Bend Justice Center, built by McCownGordon Construction.

The facility replaces the previous 1930’s building that does not support modern policing requirements. The most significant restraint of previous building was space. Therefore, the new facility nearly triples the square footage.

The project includes separate public lobbies for both police and courts, secure records and court clerks’ office areas, a courtroom with a capacity of 50, administrative and investigative offices, briefing/squad room that doubles as a storm shelter, locker and fitness areas, secure evidence storage and a police garage.
