Yesterday I had the unpopular task of posting some tax information, due dates, and such. I figure the comments were going to be spicy 🌶️ and I was not disappointed. Anyways, one dude was like “when was the last time a cop has actually ever helped anyone”🙄. This morning I walk into our victim’s advocate’s office, Sheyenne Veith, and catch her meticulously filling up boxes, BOXES full of little special Halloween treat baggy thingys for today’s trunk or treat so children can have a safe environment to snag some candy.🍭We are out here helping in some way everyday. Thank you to Sheyenne for your dedication and we recognize and appreciate your hard work.
🎃🧛🏼Trunk or Treat in the Sheriff’s Office parking lot starts at 4:30 and goes until 6:30.👻👹
