All intake services for the law-enforcement agencies of Roanoke County, Vinton and Salem will be handled at the Salem Courthouse, 2 E. Calhoun St.
Officials say that combining these services will enable citizens and law-enforcement officers to meet with an intake officer with less delay. Parking also will be improved.
The move, however, will not affect the work of the Roanoke County Juvenile and Domestic Relations clerk's office. Papers filed directly with the clerk, court hearings and the payment of fines, court costs and other fees will remain at the Roanoke County Courthouse, 305 E. Main St., Salem.
