๐ THANK YOU TO OUR ASSISTING AGENCIES ๐
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all of the agencies and personnel who assisted in the effort to locate Christopher Kepler.
A special thank-you to Granite County and the United States Marshals Service for their invaluable assistance, including the use of their K9 teams. ๐โ๐ฆบ
We would also like to thank the United States Forest Service for their assistance and support during the search.
Tonight also marked an important first for the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Police Department, as we deployed our department drone to assist in the search and locating efforts. We are proud to have another tool available to help our officers and partner agencies during critical incidents.
This search was a true example of interagency cooperation and teamwork. We are incredibly grateful to every agency, officer, deputy, agent, and personnel member who answered the call and contributed their time, resources, and expertise.
Thank you all for helping keep our community safe. ๐๐๐โ๐ฆบ๐
