From the Desk of Deputy Logan Nelson 🚔

A friendly reminder to our community about the laws and safety requirements surrounding e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-motorcycles.

These modes of transportation are becoming increasingly popular, and with that comes the responsibility to know the rules of the road and operate safely.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the applicable laws, wear the proper safety equipment, stay alert, and be respectful of other roadway users.

Safety first—every ride, every time! 🛴🚲🏍️

Stay safe out there!
— Deputy Logan Nelson

At the upcoming Grant County Board meeting, there will be discussion regarding public safety staffing and resources.

These conversations are important to the future of law enforcement services throughout Grant County. We encourage anyone interested in the future of public safety to attend the meeting or listen remotely, if available.

We remain committed to providing the highest level of service possible and appreciate the community's continued support and engagement.

What an incredible evening! 💙🚓🚒🚑

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped make our very first National Night Out such a success! It was wonderful to see so many members of our community come together for an evening of fun, laughter, and building relationships with your local first responders.

We even had a surprise visit from our special friend… The Grinch! 💚 He may have tried to stir up a little mischief, but the kids kept him in line!

And let’s be honest… we think the kids officially defeated the Sheriff’s Office, Fire Department, EMS, and Grinch kickball team! ⚽😂

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, participated, and helped make this event one to remember. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we can’t wait to do it again next year! ❤️🤍💙

Today, the Grant County Sheriff's Office had the opportunity to present this PowerPoint to the Grant County Board of Commissioners. We believe it's important that the residents of Grant County have access to the same information, which is why we are sharing this presentation with our community.

Inside, you'll find an overview of the many services we provide, the responsibilities of our deputies, dispatchers, investigators, records staff, and administration, along with statistics, training requirements, grants we've secured, and information about the work we do every day to serve Grant County.

Our goal is to be transparent, accountable, and open with the public we are honored to serve.

We know you may have questions or want to learn more about our operations. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, we encourage you to contact Sheriff Jennifer Vipond or stop by the Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Vipond welcomes the opportunity to visit with members of our community and values open, honest communication.

Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work together to keep Grant County a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – Publisher's Clearing House Scam 🚨

The Grant County Sheriff's Office wants to remind residents to be on the lookout for Publisher's Clearing House scams that are currently making the rounds in our area.

Scammers may call, text, email, or message you claiming you've won a large prize—but there's a catch. They will often ask you to send money, purchase gift cards, or provide personal or banking information to "claim" your winnings.

Remember:
❌ Never give out your personal or financial information.
❌ Never send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency to claim a prize.
❌ If you truly win a legitimate prize, it should never cost you anything to receive it.

If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. Hang up, don't respond, and talk with a trusted family member or contact the Grant County Sheriff's Office before taking any action.

Please share this post to help protect your family, friends, and neighbors—especially older adults, who are often targeted by these scams.

Stay alert. Stay informed. Stay safe.
