Thank you to our Dispatchers! We don't thank you enough. You are appreciated.

Happy National Public Safety Telecommunications Week to all of our Howard County dispatchers! You are the heartbeat of the Howard County Sheriff’s Office. Dispatchers sometimes go unnoticed but they are the calm in every storm and we appreciate each one of you more then you will ever know!

New 45-327 now in service.

Cresco Firefighters do the traditional push in of our new Fire Tanker. New 327, a 2025 Freightliner, 2100 gallon Tanker with 500 gpm pump is replacing our 1999 International that served our district for 27 years. We want to thank our Rural Fire Board, City of Cresco, citizens of our service area who generously donated to our fund raising efforts for this project, as well as our Firefighters for their monetary and service contributions. All these efforts do not go unnoticed. 45-327 is in service.
