FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Mohave County Sheriff’s Office proudly hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house today for the new Reach Out Facility in Kingman. Established in 2022, the Re-Entry Program was modeled after a program offered by Yavapai County. After much collaboration with Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes, the goal was set to bring a similar program to Mohave County.

Made possible through grant funding and funds from the Opioid Settlement Agreement, the Mohave County Reach Out Facility represents an important investment in public safety and community support. The facility was created with the primary goal of reducing recidivism by providing recently jailed individuals with access to mental health support, substance abuse treatment, and other services that can help them successfully transition back into the community.

With the new building strategically located outside the Adult Detention Facility’s release doors, the Reach Out Facility aims to break the cycle of repeated incarceration and create a direct pathway toward long-term stability and self-sufficiency. This collaborative effort reflects the commitment to enhancing public safety through proactive solutions that benefit both individuals and the community.

A huge Thank You goes out to Sheriff David Rhodes, Senator Hildy Angius, the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, retired County Manager Sam Elters, Concord Construction, and LGA Architecture for their participation in bringing this vision to life. Together, efforts like these are creating opportunities for positive change and building a safer, stronger Mohave County.
