Change your clocks and check your smoke alarms. As you move your clocks forward, take a few minutes to test your smoke alarms and replace any batteries that need it. This simple task can save lives!

🚓🦫 GROUNDHOG DAY ARREST UPDATE 🦫🚓

Earlier today, officers from the Monticello Police Department took a local groundhog into custody.

After a brief investigation, the suspect did see his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter are officially on the forecast. ❄️☃️

The groundhog was cooperative during the process and has since been released unharmed. While winter may be sticking around a bit longer, we hope this brings a smile to your day.

Happy Groundhog Day from the Monticello Police Department—stay warm and stay safe!

Congratulations to each of you. This achievement is well earned.
