Emergency/Escape Support

The Florida Department of Corrections and the Walton County Sheriff’s Office have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement, identified as solicitation number A5991, to establish a framework for mutual support during actual or anticipated emergencies or inmate escapes at the Walton Correctional Institution. This agreement outlines the specific roles, joint responsibilities, and emergency contact procedures for personnel and communications to ensure a coordinated response during critical incidents. The contract term is effective from September 25, 2026, through September 24, 2031, and includes an option to renew for an additional five years. This agreement is a non-financial arrangement, meaning it creates no financial obligations between the state agency and the local law enforcement office.
