Congrats Deputy Weber!
08/19/2023
It takes a very dedicated individual to graduate from the National Law Enforcement Academy. There are many long nights, countless study hours, numerous tests and a desire to not fail. A very heavy load for one person and now imagine being a husband and a father. Deputy Weber is the definition of a moral and just man, everything a community needs behind a badge.
Us here at the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office owe the Weber family a huge thank you for choosing our office as your new extended family and we are so happy to have Deputy Weber back in the office!
Deputy Meyer Reporting
August 1, 2023
A new face has made its way to the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office and we couldn't be more happier about it.
Deputy Tristan Meyer will be a great addition to our office. Deputy Meyer brings a calm, collective character with him wherever he goes, which is so beneficial to our community.
Deputy Meyer will soar in every aspect of his job and will do it with a smile on his face.
Welcome to the crew Meyer! We are excited to have you!
Breaking the Barrier
"Somethings ought to be Recognized"- Judge Weimer
And when that "something" is two individuals going above and beyond their job title, we all agree a big thank you is in order.
Lt. Enemencio Falcon Jr. and Correctional Officer Rolando Torres were recognized for their outstanding work ethic in the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office this morning. Both Lt. Falcon and CO Torres are bilingual in English and Spanish and you won't believe how beneficial that is to our office and our local court systems.
We are not sure a thank you is good enough or even touches the surface of how thankful we are to have the two of you, so we will say it again for good measure.....Gracias!

Med-Return collection unit
The Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office has obtained a Med-Return drug collection unit. Citizens looking to dispose of excess and expired prescription and over-the-counter medications can now visit the safe and secure permanent drop off location in the south hall of the courthouse. Properly disposing of excess drugs is everyone's responsibility as a matter of public safety. More than 70 percent of the young people abusing prescription pain relievers get them through friends and family, a statistic that includes raiding the family medicine cabinet. Now Cheyenne County citizens won't have to wait for a specific take-back day to clean out their medicine cabinets. Keep prescription medication away from our children and out of our water supply.
The Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office is also participating in the DEA National Takeback Day on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023. Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. That's why it's great to see thousands of folks from across the county clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - a record amount of prescription drugs each year!
Keep in mind, since the takeback day is on a Saturday, you will need to enter the courthouse through the Sheriff's Office entry if you would like to drop off prescription drugs that day.
Tips for Safely Sharing the Road with Farm Equipment
Best Practices for Sharing the Road
- Be visible: Farm equipment is large, loud, and cumbersome — so farmers have their hands full when navigating the roads. It’s entirely possible that a farmer may not be able to see your vehicle. Consider giving your horn a quick honk to alert the farmer of your presence.
- Pass carefully: Farmers may pull over for you to pass safely. However, if you feel you must pass and the farmer doesn’t pull over, proceed with caution. Avoid passing on hills, curves, or when anything blocks your view of oncoming vehicles.
- Don’t speed past: When passing farm equipment, be aware that your vehicle’s turbulence may cause the machinery to sway and become unsteady. To prevent this, pass at a low speed.
- Slow down: As soon as you see farm equipment, slow down — these vehicles typically travel at about 15-25 mph. Therefore, it takes less than 7 seconds for a car traveling at 55 mph to rear-end a tractor that’s 300-400 feet away.
- Look for the Slow Moving Vehicle emblem: Keep an eye out for the Slow Moving Vehicle emblem, which looks like an orange triangle with red borders. Here’s a picture of what you’re looking for.
- Stay alert: Watch for amber flashing lights that signal the far ends of the farm equipment. There may also be reflective tape on these far-reaching parts that increase its visibility.
- Understand the limitations of farm equipment: Farm equipment isn’t as maneuverable as a car or truck. A lot of farm equipment can’t safely negotiate road shoulders or loose surfaces — these tall, unstable vehicles run the risk of tipping over.
- Leave space: Stay about 50 feet back from farm equipment on the road. If you’re passing, leave ample room between your vehicle and the farm equipment, because large machines can’t hit the brakes and stop on a dime.
- Watch for turns: Wide vehicles make wide turns. If you see farm machinery veering off in one direction, it may be making a turn, not pulling over. That’s because farm equipment operators have to swing a heavy left or right to make a turn. It’s safest to stay back and watch what the machinery operator chooses to do next.
- Yield to wide vehicles: Some farm equipment may be wider than the road. If you’re approaching an oncoming wide vehicle, stop and pull off the road, turn around, pick a different route, or back away so the machinery can safely pass. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye out for pilot cars, which indicate that an oversized vehicle is coming down the road.
