Thank you to Tractor Supply for providing our K-9 units, Buster and Drago, funds for K-9 necessities during their Hometown Hero Event this past weekend. Pictured is Buster and his handler, Cpl. Justin Veith. Buster is 35 years old ( 5 in human years) and has been on the force since 2022. Buster is currently single at this time (that we know of🤔). Buster ‘s favorite color is black and white. Buster is fluent in bark. His hobbies include running, with and without his tongue out, and playing dog games with his friends like “hide and go pee” and “rock, paper, paws”. When Buster retires, he plans on lounging in the Gulf of Putnam on rainy days.

🎃👻Trick or treat is what’s on the agenda for Putnam County tomorrow evening. Let’s try……TRY to keep the shenanigans to a minimum. I think we are all pretty solid on trick or treat safety, but just in case some are not, you can see the below information.
For all the adult ghouls enjoying “adult” activities, make sure you have a designated driver if you drink from the witches’ cauldron one too many times.

- trick or treat in groups.
- watch for dog poop 🐶 💩 in people’s yards.
Haha dog poop caked in your tennis shoe treads leads to a stinky night!
- have a flashlight, glow sticks ( haha autocorrect saved me there), or reflective clothing on.
- eggs are too expensive to throw. Try asparagus or radishes.
- Trick or treat in neighborhoods you are familiar with. Stranger and danger rhyme for a reason.

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.👻👹
