September is Su***de Prevention Month.

A simple check-in, a listening ear or reminding someone they matter can make more of a difference than we may ever know. Reach out. Listen. Be kind. Look out for one another.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org. From all of us at the Prineville Police Department, please remember: you matter, your life matters, and our community is better with you in it.

More than 2.2 million acres have burned across Oregon this fire season, with hundreds of thousands of those acres right here in and around Crook County. But these aren't just numbers on a map. They're places we call home, land families have cared for generations and communities that have spent days surrounded by smoke, evacuations and uncertainty.

Through it all, we've witnessed something stronger than the fires, people taking care of people. Neighbors helping neighbors, businesses stepping up, strangers opening their doors and first responders working tirelessly to protect the communities they call home, too. To everyone who has fought these fires, supported those on the front lines or helped a neighbor through a difficult day, thank you.

Through the smoke, the uncertainty and the difficult days, one thing has remained clear. Crook County takes care of its own. ❤️

Our officers were recently called to assist with a turkey on the loose.

Was it cooperative? Absolutely not.
Did it respect our authority? Also no.
Did our training cover turkey negotiations? Surprisingly, no. 😂

Charges include:
• Fowl play
• Evading officers
• Disorderly gobbling
• Failure to cooperate
• Being suspiciously delicious this close to Thanksgiving

Just another day with the Poultry Patrol Division!

School Resource Officer Dunn caught this little guy hanging around. Apparently, Stingy McStingerson heard school was just about back in session and showed up ready to enroll.

For the record, nobody actually called 911 over this guy… but since we have your attention, please don’t. 😂 We have many talents. Pest control is not one of them.

Friendly reminder from your friendly, neighborhood scorpion wrangler: check your kids’ outdoor toys, shoes and play areas before little hands and feet go exploring!
