We are very fortunate to serve where we do because we have great community backing and support for what we do.

We think you will find lots of useful information in each of our sections, as well as convenient direct links to other relevant sites and information. The site is designed to open outside links in a new tab which maintains the Sheriff's Office site in the browser. At the bottom of the page you will see a summary of what is located in each section and you can go to each section by using the menu at the top of the page.
Although most of the site is complete and fully functional, there are portions of the site that are still under construction. Pages that are still being completed will be marked with a "Under Construction" sign. We anticipate that these pages will be available shortly.
Weather updates are located in the "Roads/Weather" tab. If there are current severe weather concerns in our area you will see a flashing banner at the top of each page. By clicking on this banner you will be routed directly to the Roads and Weather page.

National Law Enforcement Week
In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as the National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. National Police week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to Honoring America's Law Enforcement community. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum will hold the 32nd annual Candlelight Vigil on Wednesday, May 13, 2020 at 8:00 pm Eastern.
The memorial honors 22,217 officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This year, the names of 307 fallen law enforcement officers - 135 of which we lost in the line of duty in 2019. The other 172 are the names of officers who fell in years prior and who are now being recognized.
The current crisis that our nation is facing has led to the cancellation of public gatherings in Washington, DC, during National Police Week 2020. Therefore, the names of the fallen 307 law enforcement officers being added to the Memorial will be formally dedicated during a virtual Candlelight Vigil. The memorial, in partnership with Verizon, will broadcast the Vigil on May 13, 2020, at 8:00 pm globally.
Please register at https://LawMemorial.org/VirtualCandlelightVigil to watch the video with your family and friends and light a Virtual Candle in honor of your officer.
Nebraska is honoring two heroes this year, who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
