Attention Atchison County Residents:

You might find one of these cards under your door. We are conducting random building checks as part of our proactive approach to help safeguard your property and possessions! These slips let you know that an Atchison County Deputy stopped and checked your building. If you have any questions you can give us a call, but generally they’re just letting you know we were there.
