Antrim County Sheriff’s Office Seeks Properties for Training Exercises

Traverse City Cadillac, MI, October 9, 2026 — The Antrim County Sheriff’s Office has issued a call for vacant properties, abandoned buildings, and unused land within Antrim County to be utilized for law enforcement training exercises. The initiative aims to provide essential training opportunities for both deputies and the K9 unit.

The Sheriff’s Office is actively looking for suitable locations to conduct a variety of training scenarios. These exercises are crucial for maintaining the skills and readiness of law enforcement personnel and their canine partners. Properties being sought could include buildings that are currently unoccupied or land that is not in active use.

Specific details regarding the types of structures or land parcels needed, or the duration of the training periods, were not immediately available. Information on how property owners can offer their land or buildings for consideration is also pending further announcement.

The program is designed to offer realistic training environments without incurring costs associated with setting up dedicated training facilities. This approach allows the Sheriff’s Office to enhance operational readiness while potentially engaging the community by utilizing existing, albeit vacant, local assets. Further details on the process for offering properties and the specific requirements for their use are expected to be released by the Antrim County Sheriff’s Office.
