Welcome back to school!

Please join us in congratulating Deputy Austin Brewer on his new assignment as the Grand County Security Chief! 👮‍♂️🏫

The Utah Legislature created the County Security Chief position and requires each county Sheriff to designate someone responsible for coordinating school safety and school guardians. We’re proud to have Deputy Brewer take on this important role.

At the Grand County Sheriff’s Office, school safety is one of our top priorities. Our children are among the most vulnerable members of our community, and we are committed to doing everything we can to keep them safe while they learn and grow.

Austin will work closely with our schools, staff, and school guardians to strengthen safety and security throughout Grand County.

With school back in session, please slow down and watch for children while driving to and from school. Be especially alert around crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, and please be patient with school buses while children are getting on and off. A few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference in keeping our kids safe.

Congratulations, Deputy Brewer! Now about your dreams and that fire truck… 🚒👮‍♂️

🐻🌳 BEAR TAKES “TREE TIMEOUT” IN SPANISH VALLEY 🌳🐻

What started as a peaceful honey hunt 🍯 turned into an unexpected adventure for one local bear in Spanish Valley.

Reports say our furry friend got a little surprised during his snack-seeking mission and, in classic bear logic, decided the safest option was to climb a tree and reassess his life choices from above. 🐻🤔🌲

Grand County Sheriff’s deputies and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources quickly responded to make sure everyone, humans and bear, stayed safe.

DWR safely tranquilized the bear so he could be relocated to a more suitable, honey-approved location. 🍯✨ No citations were issued for “excessive tree climbing” or “poor snack strategy.”

Huge thanks to DWR for their quick, professional response and safe handling of the situation.

Reminder: If you see a bear, admire from a distance, give it space, and call the proper authorities. Do NOT approach, feed, or challenge it to a snack-off. 🐻📸

Even bears have rough days… especially when the honey plan doesn’t go as expected in Moab. 😉

Incident Update: One suspicious character was found loitering near a local hotel.

Description:
• No shoes
• No ID
• Terrible attitude
• Armed with rattles

Deputies responded and safely relocated Mr. Snake to a more suitable habitat. Case closed… unless he decides to slither back into town.

As always, if you come across wildlife, admire it from a distance and give us a call if it’s creating a safety concern. *No humans or snakes were harmed during this incident*
