Tomorrow is Halloween, which means our neighborhoods will be filled with little ghosts, superheroes, princesses, and plenty of excited trick-or-treaters!

Please use EXTRA caution, especially during evening hours.

-Slow down in residential neighborhoods
-Watch for children crossing between parked cars
-Put your phone away and focus on the road
-Be especially careful at intersections and driveways

Remember, excited kids don't always stop and look before crossing the street. That's why it's up to drivers to be extra alert. Halloween is the most dangerous day of the year for child pedestrian accidents and injuries in the United States.

Let's make sure the scariest thing about Halloween is the costumes, not the drive home!

Our deputies traded their usual investigations for a little Halloween fun at the Halloween Campfire and Hayrides event, hosted by Elkhart County Parks at Oxbow Park!

Young trick-or-treaters had the chance to try their hand at drawing a crime scene while visiting with our officers. Who knows? We may have met a few future detectives!

Thanks to Elkhart County Parks for hosting a great community event and giving us the opportunity to connect with local families.

No arrests were made, but plenty of fun was had!

On October 25, Sgt. Jesse Reust of the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office and officers from the Middlebury Police Department responded to a medical emergency at an Elkhart County residence.

When they arrived, they found an unconscious man and immediately began CPR. Thanks to their quick response and coordinated efforts, the man began breathing and showed signs of life before being transported to Elkhart General Hospital for further treatment.

Moments like these demonstrate that serving our community goes well beyond enforcing the law. Our deputies are trained to respond when people need help most, and their actions can make a lifesaving difference.

We're proud of Sgt. Reust and grateful for the teamwork of our law enforcement partners at the Middlebury Police Department.

Thank you for your service and dedication to our community.
