Road Condition Update
01/25/2023 2pm
PSA on road conditions north of Potter. We've had a lot of wind north of Potter that has caused county roads in that area to blow and drift shut. The county graders are out working to clear them now, unfortunately all three of them are stuck in snowdrifts themselves right now. Most of the roads in that area impassible at this time. Please avoid travel in this area if you can. If you must travel on them, please use slow speeds and be cautious when entering drifts so that you do not become stuck yourself. Thank you and as always, be safe out there.
Adam E. Frerichs, Sheriff
Cheyenne County
The Cheyenne County Sheriff's Office patrols over 1,200 miles of roadway within Cheyenne County including I-80, State Highways, County Roads, and city streets. While serving the rural citizens and the citizens of Sidney, Potter, Brownson, Lorenzo, Sunol, Lodgepole, Gurley, Dalton and the Industrial Park. Road Patrol includes the enforcement of traffic violations, traffic control, responding to calls for service, motorist assists, traffic accidents and investigations, DUI enforcement, criminal and drug interdiction. We continually evaluate traffic trends and crash related data to focus patrol and enforcement efforts in areas we believe can have an impact on the reduction of traffic crashes and fatalities. Thank you Deputy Deines for the awesome photo!

Chirping Devices
Text Messaging
Combined Public Communications and the Cheyenne County Jail can provide an option to inmates to rent an inmate Chirping Device. The Inmate gets a dedicated phone number and device to directly Chirp friends and family. When the inmate gets the device they may send 5 free automated messages each day for the first 3 days of possession of the Chirping device. These automated messages will inform the person the inmate Chirped who is sending the Chirps and the facility they are Chirping from. It will then ask them to go to a direct link to the inmate's account on the inmatesales.com website. The inmatesales.com website will instruct them to use a credit card to put money on the inmate's account. If the inmate has not been successful on obtaining money in 3 days, they will have to return the device to facility staff.
What is a Chirping Device?
The device is enclosed in a protective enclosure. The device is locked into use for Chirping, the inmate cannot access any other apps or services. The device is location aware and may not leave the facility. The device is secured with a PIN which must be entered by the inmate anytime they want to wake the screen.
How do I pay for it?
Funds may be added to the inmate's account at anytime using the inmatesales.com website.
