FEEL GOOD FRIDAY…

The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office assisted the Beltrami County Dept. of Corrections (DOC) Office in celebrating Vicki Turn who has been a support staff in the felony office for 30 years. A huge thank you to Vicki for her 30 years of service to DOC. Hopefully you don’t feel chained to the building as your work is much appreciated.

We are aware the inmate list is currently not available. A recent update to our LE systems appears to have caused a format issue.

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY…

Congratulations Beryl on your Women United Tribute Award. Beryl’s contributions to the Sheriff’s Office spanning her 42 year career in public safety were highlighted in her award citation.

Memories of good times and bad, one common theme was her dedicated and professional service to the citizens she served and law enforcement, fire and EMS responders who she stood with.

While Beryl has been retired for nearly 10 years, her foundational wisdom and mentorship still guides many in our office today. Congratulations on this well deserved recognition.

WHERE WE AT WEDNESDAY…

We have a huge county, the 4th largest in Minnesota. Let’s have a game on Wednesday where we post a photo from a location in the county and you can guess where it is. What are the rules? Well… post a comment where you think it is. The next week, or sometime around there, we will “like” correct answers. We will post the location in the comments.

What do you win? A few pixels that indicate you guessed correctly.

We participate in this committee, and this is a great opportunity to learn more about the Opioid Settlement and how those dollars are distributed in the community.
