PUBLIC NOTICE | TEMPORARY WATER INTERRUPTION

Greetings, Cheyenne River community, families, and relatives.

Water service at our Police Department and Correctional Facility has been temporarily shut off due to damaged water pipes. BIA
Facilities personnel are working to correct the issue and have assured us this is temporary.

In the meantime, arrangements have been made to provide our staff and individuals in custody with safe drinking water, access to bathing and hygiene accommodations, and portable restroom facilities.

I personally visited our Correctional Facility to check on conditions and ensure everyone is being properly cared for.

I want to sincerely thank the Chairman’s Office, Tribal Council, Tribal Property personnel, Chief of Detentions, correctional officers, and BIA Facilities personnel for their assistance, leadership, and teamwork in addressing this situation.

As Chief of Police, I believe our community deserves transparency, especially during unexpected challenges. Everyone in our care deserves dignity, respect, and a safe environment.

We will continue monitoring the situation until water service is fully restored.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

Respectfully,

Good evening, Facebook family, friends, and relatives!

I want to share another update on our continued search for Jory Low Dog.

Today has been another busy day for our police department. Our detectives, patrol officers, dispatchers, and administrative staff have worked all day following leads, answering calls, and gathering information that may help us locate Jory.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who has called with information, shared our posts, and offered to help. Every tip matters, and we appreciate you taking the time to reach out.

📍 SEARCH UPDATE – DUPREE

Today, we established a command post in Dupree to help coordinate our search efforts. We will be back out searching tomorrow, and our command post will again be set up in Dupree.

If you would like to volunteer and help with the search, please check in at the command post before going out. We will assign volunteers specific areas to search so everyone can work together in an organized and safe manner. The Command Post will be at the Bosley building on Main Street in Dupree.

I also want to personally thank the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Chairman for authorizing administrative pay to help support personnel assisting with the search over the next couple of days. We are grateful for that support.

❤️ TO OUR COMMUNITY – THANK YOU!

I cannot express enough how much we appreciate everyone who has stepped forward to help.

Some of you have called with tips. Others have offered food, volunteered to search, shared information, or reached out to encourage our officers and staff.

That means more than you know.

After nearly 40 years in law enforcement, I have learned that a community’s true strength often shows itself during difficult times.

And today, I saw that strength right here on Cheyenne River.

People helping people. Neighbors looking out for neighbors. Families coming together to help another family.

That is something we should all be proud of.

To Jory’s family, please know that we are continuing our efforts to find him. We understand how difficult this must be, and we remain committed to following every credible lead. Thank you for leaving your home in Oklahoma so we can do our due diligence in finding your son; we appreciate all your support.

To my officers, detectives, dispatchers, and administrative staff, thank you for your dedication and hard work.

Thank you to Dewey County Emergency Management, Cheyenne River Emergency Management, Ziebach County, and their staff for all your coordination.

To everyone in our community, please keep sending us tips and sharing Jory’s information. Sometimes the smallest detail can make the biggest difference.

📞 Have information about Jory Low Dog? Please call 605-964-2155.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support.

You all remind me why community policing matters. We cannot do this work alone, and your willingness to help makes a difference.

You are all amazing! Don’t ever stop being awesome! ❤️

Please stay safe, be respectful of one another, and continue looking out for your neighbors.

Together, we are stronger.

Respectfully,

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

To Our Community and Department Staff,

I apologize to our community members who have tried to reach me at the police department.

Over the past several days, I have spent considerable time out in our communities, visiting with residents, listening to concerns, and working alongside our police officers and detectives. I understand how frustrating it can be to call the department hoping to speak directly with the Chief of Police, only to learn that I am not in the office.

Please know that I am not ignoring your calls or concerns. Every person deserves to be heard, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Today, I was in the field assisting our team with the ongoing search for Jory Low Dog, a young man who has been missing since September 18. Tomorrow, I will once again work alongside our dispatchers, officers, and detectives, following up on leads and doing everything we can to help bring him home safely.

As a father and a member of this community, I understand the worry and heartache a family feels when a loved one is missing. I hope that, with the continued support of our communities and our Facebook family, someone will provide information that helps us locate Jory and bring his family much-needed answers.

I also want to thank everyone who has already shared information, offered assistance, or helped spread the word. Your support means more than you may realize.

To those trying to reach me, I respectfully ask for your patience.

If I am unavailable, please leave a message with our department. I will make every effort to return your call as soon as my responsibilities allow. For urgent matters requiring police assistance, please continue to contact our dispatch personnel.

I have always believed that being a Chief of Police means more than sitting behind a desk. It means being present, listening to our people, supporting our officers, and standing alongside our communities when they need us most.

I also recognize that my staff needs my time, guidance, and support. I appreciate their patience and dedication as we continue working through the many challenges facing our department to help our amazing community, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe!

My commitment to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe remains unchanged. I am here to serve, listen, and work to make our communities safer.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. Please keep Jory Low Dog and his family in your thoughts and prayers as we continue our search.

I also want to thank our Emergency Management team, who dropped what they were doing and brought two side-by-sides and personnel to conduct an effective search. Thank you.

Respectfully,
Chief Arron R. Julian
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department

If you have information about Jory Low Dog’s whereabouts, please get in touch with the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department at (605) 964-2155.

Community Partnerships and School Safety – Dupree, South Dakota

While visiting Dupree today as part of our ongoing efforts to locate a missing person, I met with the Mayor and members of his staff. They were wonderful people, and I appreciated their warm welcome and willingness to work with our department.

I wanted to personally inform the Mayor that our officers would be conducting searches throughout the community so his office would be aware of our presence and could respond to any resident questions or concerns.

I have great respect for the Town of Dupree and its leadership. I believe that strong relationships, open communication, and mutual respect are essential to keeping our communities safe. We may serve in different capacities, but we share the same responsibility to the people we represent.

I also had the pleasure of stopping by the Dupree School, where I met with the Superintendent and Principal. Both were a delight to visit with and very supportive. I explained that law enforcement personnel would be working in the surrounding area as part of our search efforts. I wanted school officials to be informed and reassured that our presence near the school was not related to any threat or concern involving students.

An Important Traffic Safety Reminder

During my visit, town officials also highlighted a one-way street near the school, as shown in the attached photograph. They asked that we help remind motorists to observe the posted one-way traffic signs, especially because children regularly cross this roadway.

Please pay attention to traffic signs, slow down near the school, and stay alert for children and pedestrians. Taking a few extra seconds to drive safely can prevent a tragedy.

I sincerely appreciate the Mayor, his staff, the Superintendent, and the Principal for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit with me.

Our department is committed to building positive relationships with every community we serve. Public safety is not something law enforcement accomplishes alone. It takes cooperation, communication, and our communities' trust.

Thank you, Dupree, for your hospitality and continued partnership.

Respectfully,
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Division

COMMUNITY UPDATE – HELICOPTER ACTIVITY NEAR BLACKFOOT

October 13, 2026

Today, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department received several reports from concerned community members about a helicopter flying at low elevations and conducting what appeared to be spraying operations near the river beaches east of Blackfoot.

Our department followed up on these reports and investigated the aircraft’s activities.

During our investigation, we obtained the helicopter’s aircraft identification number and reviewed its flight pattern to help verify its movements and activities in the area.

We confirmed that the helicopter was a contracted aircraft operating on behalf of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The activity was associated with vegetation management and spraying operations, which we were informed are part of an annual maintenance program.

We appreciate the residents who took the time to report this activity. Your observations and concerns are important, and we believe the community deserves accurate information when unfamiliar activities occur near residential areas.

We encourage residents to continue reporting unusual activity so we can investigate and provide factual information when possible.

Thank you to everyone who reached out today. We appreciate your continued involvement in keeping our communities informed and safe.

Respectfully,
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department

Committed to community safety, accountability, and transparency.

MISSING PERSON UPDATE – JORY LOW DOG

October 13, 2026

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department continues its active search for Jory Low Dog, who has been missing since September 18, 2026.

Throughout the day, our officers and detectives followed up on several tips and possible sightings from community members.

Today, our Law Enforcement Division, working with Emergency Management, searched the community of Dupree and surrounding areas. These efforts included checking abandoned residences, rural farm areas, trails, and other locations where Jory may have been seen.

We have also received information suggesting Jory may have been spotted in Pierre, South Dakota. We are actively following up on these reports with assistance from the Pierre Police Department. At this time, these possible sightings have not been confirmed.

Our detectives continue interviewing individuals who may have information about Jory’s last known whereabouts.

We are also asking residents and local businesses to review any available security camera footage from September 18, 2026. This includes residential surveillance cameras, business security systems, and any other recordings that may help establish Jory’s movements or last known location. Even a brief recording could provide important information to assist our investigation.

We sincerely appreciate the many community members who have reached out offering their time, assistance, and resources. Your willingness to help demonstrates the strength and compassion of our communities, and we appreciate your continued support.

At this time, we have not identified a specific location where we can effectively concentrate additional search personnel. Once credible information identifies an area that needs additional resources, we will coordinate those efforts and request additional personnel and assistance as needed. We want to keep our search efforts organized, coordinated, and focused on locations supported by available information.

If you have seen Jory, know where he may be staying, have relevant security footage, or have any information about his whereabouts, please get in touch with the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department at 605-964-2155.

We understand the concern and uncertainty surrounding Jory’s disappearance, especially for his family and loved ones. Please know that our investigation remains active, and we will continue following up on information, working with neighboring law enforcement agencies, and searching areas where credible leads take us.

Thank you to our Emergency Management personnel, law enforcement officers, neighboring agencies, and every community member who has stepped forward to help.

Our priority remains finding Jory and bringing him home safely.

Respectfully,
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Police Department
