The 2026 Vanderburgh County Fair came to a close last night, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the fair officials, board members, volunteers, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this year's fair such a success.

Thank you for inviting the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office to be part of another incredible week. From bicycle patrols and traffic control to meeting families at our tent and serving as judges for special events, we truly appreciated every opportunity to connect with our community.

Deputy Macy Pace and Deputy Allison Lancaster had the honor of judging the Ice Cream Making contest, while School Resource Deputy Lindsey Bean served as a judge for the Miss Golden Pageant. These were just a few of the many ways our deputies were fortunate to be involved at The Vanderburgh County Fair throughout the week.

Thank you for a wonderful fair. We already can't wait until next year!

Today is the last day to enjoy some fun at The Vanderburgh County Fair!

Friday was filled with fun! Deputy Shelly Wallace and Deputy Neal Luecke had a great time meeting Barbie the goat. Deputy Luecke works with K9 Dozer, but Barbie may have earned herself a new title as an Honorary K9 Goat!

Deputy Nathan Espenlaub and Deputy Andy Collins also stayed busy helping with traffic control and keeping everyone moving safely around the fairgrounds.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to visit with our deputies throughout the week. Come out and enjoy one last day at the Vanderburgh County Fair!

Neighborhood-based policing is here!

Find out who your friendly neighborhood patrol deputy is here: https://bit.ly/VCSOZones

In addition to their regular responsibilities, our neighborhood patrol deputies are eager to assist with extra patrols and vacation checks while you’re away.

Sheriff Noah Robinson shared, “Neighborhood-based policing aims not to discourage residents from calling 911, but to provide an additional method of communication with our office regarding non-urgent matters. Ultimately, we hope that deputies will develop a sense of ownership over their assigned neighborhoods and take pride in the relationships built as a result.”
