Enjoy a free dinner provided by Citizens State Bank and learn how to stay safe from lung cancer. It's easy to tell when you're around cigarette smoke, but you can't see, taste, or smell radon. Radon is a big reason why people who don't smoke can still get lung cancer.

This warning is in response to expected strong northwest winds, with sustained speeds ranging from 25 to 40 mph, and gusts that may exceed these levels.

Merry Christmas! We hope you are having a wonderful day with family and friends. If you need a laugh, go check out our Christmas snowman drawing contest video. We had a great time, although Sgt. Van Horn has the investigations team working around the clock to review the results.
Here's all of our contestants with their masterpieces. We even taped the art on the fridge - we're THAT proud of them.Photos from Harvey County Sheriff's Office's post
Merry Christmas, Harvey County! We want to take a few moments today to acknowledge and thank our dispatchers, law enforcement officers, firefighters and other emergency personnel who are working a shift or on call today.
While many of us get to enjoy time with friends and family today, there are several individuals who remain ready to respond when our community needs assistance, every hour, every day, even holidays. We appreciate the comfort they provide to be there for us if we need them.
Happy holidays from all of us here at Harvey County! 🎄
**sings in Anna from Frozen** Do you want to build a snowman? We gave it a try with our Two Minute Snowman Challenge for our annual Christmas video, and, well ... we probably made Anna sad with the snowmen we created.
Our Rules: Each participant has two minutes to draw a snowman and surround it with a winter wonderland scene. Contestants are blindfolded while they draw.
Judging: Pictures are evaluated for artistry, creativity, and ability to keep a hat on the snowman. SIGNIFICANT point reduction if the hat is not on the snowman. Sheriff Chad Gay will evaluate the artwork.
Our Contestants:
⛄️ Administrative Assistant Angela Snow
⛄️ Detention Center Lt. Josh Garver
⛄️ Undersheriff Shawn Chapman
⛄️ Sgt. of Investigations Jeff Van Horn.
Enjoy, and Happy Holidays from all of us at the Harvey County Sheriff's Office!
