November MAGIC IS REAL. Did you know your car has a magical little button that makes frost disappear? It’s called DEFROST. No spells. No wand. No scraping a tiny peephole and hoping for the best. Just push the button, let the wizardry happen, and wait until you can actually see before you drive. Defrostius Windshieldus! 🪄

⏰🍂 An extra hour of sleep?! SIGN. US. UP.

Unless you have small children. Then congratulations, your 6AM wake up call is now 5AM. Because apparently babies don't believe in Daylight Saving Time or sleeping in. Happy Fall Back! May your coffee be strong and your babies and toddlers learn how to read a clock.

On a serious note, with the time change comes darker evenings! Slow down, stay alert and keep an eye out for pedestrians and wildlife. And please, drive carefully. Some of us will be operating on toddler time and our fifth cup of coffee. 😂☕

🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN, PRINEVILLE!

Tonight our streets will be filled with ghosts, goblins, superheroes, princesses, and approximately 47 versions of whatever character is currently popular with kids. 😂

Drivers, slow down and keep an eye out for little trick-or-treaters. Have fun, be safe, make good choices! Remember…the candy tax is between you and your children. We don’t get involved. 😂 Happy Halloween from all of us at the Prineville Police Department!

🦖🚔 Jurassic Park called. Apparently, they're missing a dinosaur. We told them to check the schools in Prineville. School Resource Officer Dunn has already made contact… and negotiations are going about as well as you'd expect with someone who has tiny arms and a big attitude. 😉

Friday Night Lights, SRO Edition! 🏈🚔

One minute they’re enjoying the homecoming football game, the next they’re posing for a fashion magazine cover. 😉

All jokes aside, School Resource Officers Dunn, Coffman, and Guffey love getting to be part of these moments with our students. It’s more than just showing up for a football game. It’s about building relationships, making memories, and being a part of the community we love! ❤️

DID YOU KNOW?

Text-to-911 is available in Crook County!
If you’re in an emergency and it isn’t safe or possible to speak, you can text 911 for help. Be ready to provide your location, explain what’s happening, and answer the dispatcher’s questions. Call if you can. Text if you can’t.

Going to a Halloween party? Have fun. Dress ridiculous. Eat too much candy. Make questionable karaoke decisions. Just don’t make the really bad decision to drive impaired. Plan your ride home before the party starts. Designate a sober driver, call for a ride, or stay the night. The scariest thing on the road this Halloween shouldn’t be an impaired driver. 🚔

Tonight, our hearts are broken for our neighbors in Bend and throughout Deschutes County.

There are simply no words that can ease the heartbreak of a tragedy like this. The Prineville Police Department stands with the families, friends, students, school staff, first responders, and every person whose life has been touched by this unimaginable loss. Our department has sent resources to Bend to support our law enforcement partners, and we remain ready to help in any way we can.

Tomorrow morning, our School Resource Officers and our Patrol Officers will be at our local schools, offering a familiar face, a reassuring smile, and a steady presence for the students and staff of Crook County. When tragedy strikes one of our neighboring communities, the heartbreak reaches all of us. Tonight, we stand together, grieve together, and remind one another that no community should have to face such sorrow alone.
