The Sidney Police Department is proud to announce the promotion of Corporal Brett Norby to Sergeant!

On August 3, 2026, Sgt. Norby was sworn in to his new position by Chief Kraft during the City Council's regular meeting, with his wife and family proudly looking on. Sgt. Norby renewed his oath of office to support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, the laws of the State of Montana, and the citizens of the City of Sidney. Sidney is fortunate to have an officer of Brett's commitment and integrity serving here.

In order to be eligible for this promotion, Sgt. Norby, a 7-year veteran of the Sidney Police Department, has completed over 100 hours of advanced training in police leadership and first-line supervision, including the demanding Supervision of Police Personnel course through Northwestern University. Sgt. Norby also completed a competitive promotional process involving a comprehensive written examination and an oral board interview.

Congratulations, Sgt. Norby, on this well-deserved promotion.

It's Fourth of July weekend. That means good food, good company, and at least one person who thinks they can outsmart common sense. Don't let that person be you.

⭐️If you're going to drink, don't drive. If you're going to drive, don't drink.

⭐️ Fireworks are meant to go **up**. If yours goes sideways, backwards, or into your cousin's pickup, you've already messed up.

⭐️End the day with as many fingers as you started it with. They come in handy.

⭐️Keep your pets indoors in a safe and quiet place if they are scared. Or on a leash if they join in on the festivities

⭐️Stay out of jail. Bail money is expensive, and whoever has to come get you is going to remind you about it for the next 20 years.

⭐️Eat too much barbecue. It's your patriotic duty.

⭐️Be kind to all first responders. They'd rather be eating ribs than picking you up because you thought Roman candles were a good idea

Have fun, laugh a lot, wave the flag, thank a veteran, enjoy your family, and be safe!

🐾 End of Watch: April 16, 2026

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that retired Sidney Police Department K9 Xero passed away from natural causes yesterday evening at his home. He was 13 years old.

K9 Xero was born on December 19, 2012, in Hungary and was imported into the U.S. by Southern Police Canine Inc. in North Carolina. Half German Shepherd and half Belgian Malinois, the Sidney Police Department acquired K9 Xero from SPCI in May 2014, and was able to do so in large part because of the tremendous generosity and support from the Sidney community.

K9 Xero was considered a dual-purpose K9 trained in both narcotics detection and patrol operations, which included suspect apprehension, tracking, and evidence/article recovery. Xero faithfully served our community with unwavering loyalty, courage, and dedication for over 6 years until his retirement in late 2020. Xero truly exemplified what it means to serve with purpose and heart.

K9 Xero had a great personality and temperament, and knew how to turn up the intensity when it was time for business, or tone it down when it was time to simply be a dog, and was a great ambassador for the Sidney PD. Xero loved kids and being out in public and was always down for a scratch or a pat on the head.

While we mourn his passing, we are deeply grateful for the impact he made and his service to this community.

Rest easy, brother...you were the best boy. 🖤💙🖤 We've got it from here...

Last month, the Sidney Police Department celebrated a significant milestone with our very own, Captain Travis Rosaaen.

Capt. Rosaaen has dedicated 25 years to service, unwavering commitment, and dedication to the Sidney community.

He continues to show up every day for the department and the community, and for that, we thank not only him but also his family, who have supported and continue to support him.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who
comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows
great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know
victory nor defeat” - Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
