Words cannot describe the feeling that our officers are feeling right now. Two nights in a row, officers with our agency have traveled to Mitchell County and to Geary County to help in the search of two missing children.

In each case, the worst outcome for any family or community has come to be a tragic ending to these searches. Our hearts are broken.

Our thoughts go out to their families, all the first responders and communities that have suffered these horrible losses.

Some important info from our colleagues at KDWP, when your out enjoying the Kansas weather.

**REMINDER** - It's Baby Deer Season again. If you find a fawn alone on the ground, please just leave it there. Fawns will be increasingly dropping across Kansas over the next couple weeks.
- During the first 5-8 days, newborns bed down on the ground alone and stay still, even when a person or animal is near them.
- During the next 8-30 days, it will continue to bed on the ground alone and if startled, will quickly run to a new spot to bed on the ground or hide. They will also often make crying or bleating sounds when calling for their mother.
- Momma Doe is likely nearby grazing, so please DO NOT handle them and then call the Game Warden. If an officer shows up to pick up the deer you picked up, they will most likely just take it right back to the same spot and release it. This is their best chance of survival.
SO, please enjoy nature's beauty at a distance.
