Grant County Sheriff’s Ephrata Office Closing After Employee Positive for COVID-19

The Grant County Sheriff's Department announced Tuesday that its Administrative Office in Ephrata will be closed starting immediately.

According to social media posts by the department, the move is due to an office employee testing positive for COVID-19.

The office will be closed until March 8th, meaning new concealed pistol licenses and pre-employment fingerprinting services will not be offered until then. Renewals of concealed pistol licenses are handled electronically.

The closure will not impact response by deputies to emergency and non-emergency calls.
