Before Bertie County Sheriff Tyrone Ruffin offered his county law enforcement update Monday evening. In it, he made it a point to explain to the commissioners and to the citizens there was no tension between himself, the commissioners, the county manager or anyone else. “There’s no issues between the commissioners and the sheriff, the jail or the sheriff. It’s all business. So if our differences and opinions may be different, but that’s okay, said Ruffin. “Four years ago when I became the sheriff, one of my top priorities was to be transparent. And I take pride in being transparent with the citizen of Bertie County,” he continued. “Along those lines, if anything that I feel is a public safety to the citizens, I believe in sharing and informing the citizen about what’s going on. So, I take pride in that, also.” Law enforcement departments have been facing additional stress due to a lack of any holding cells for new detainees. However, Ruffin reported things are getting better and the challenges may be easing. “I will say that since last month things have been much better.

BMRJ holding cells may be ready in February

Law enforcement personnel for Bertie and Martin counties will be transporting detainees to other counties throughout the state at least until February 2027 while the Bertie-Martin Regional Jail remains closed. Initial repairs will begin soon and take up to 90 days to complete. That was Martin County Manager Drew Batts’ message to the Bertie County Commissioners Monday evening. Batts has been leading the BMRJ repair and reopening efforts since the inmate uprising on June 29 forced the regional jail commission to close the facility due to extensive damage caused by some inmates. The estimated cost of repairs nears $1.4 million and the timeline for complete renovation extends well into 2027. However, immediate concerns are targeted on both Bertie and Martin county’s current lack of holding cells. The disruption has raised safety, personnel and financial problems for both counties. Law enforcement officials are often transporting prisoners — causing overtime, travel costs and a lack of personnel on patrol. Those problems have been addressed by Batts, who is attempting to open 12 to 20 cells in the BMRJ facility to use as holding cells. “I had a meeting again today with the contractors on the renovations and repairs to the jail.
