Beginning tomorrow, May 10th it will be National Police Week. This week should celebrate all of those law enforcement officers near and far, that day in and day out make unimaginable sacrifices for their community. The weight they carry on their shoulders, the stress, the repetitive trauma, that a normal citizen may or may not see in their entire life. Morning, noon, and night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 12 months out of the year, this week is for you. So be proud of what you have accomplished for your community, and the sacrifices you have made to achieve that. 👊

Original post:

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred Friday evening in Ottawa.

The Ottawa Police Department requested KBI assistance at approximately 5:40 p.m. on Friday, May 1. KBI agents and the Crime Scene Response Team responded to the scene.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., law enforcement officers from the Ottawa Police Department Special Tactics and Rescue Team, a combined unit of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the Ottawa Police Department, attempted to serve a warrant on a homicide suspect out of Kansas City, Missouri. The warrant was being served at a multi-unit residence in the 500 block of South Locust Street in Ottawa.

During the initial approach, the suspect fired from within the residence, striking an Ottawa police officer. The officer sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported by ambulance to a Kansas City area hospital, where he is being treated and is expected to recover.

Officers did not return fire during the encounter. They established containment and transitioned the incident into a barricaded subject operation. The Ottawa Police Department Special Tactics and Rescue Team was later relieved by tactical teams from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI.

At approximately 9:40 p.m., the tactical teams made entry into the apartment. They located the suspect deceased from an apparent gunshot wound. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. No shots were fired by law enforcement during the course of the incident.

This independent investigation aims to discover all events leading up to the officer-involved shooting. In police use of force cases, the KBI releases details to the public as soon as possible. This information is preliminary in nature, and is based on evidence collected and early statements of the parties involved, witnesses, medical personnel and others. It does not represent final or thorough findings which take several weeks to complete.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ottawa Police Department, the Ottawa community, and all those affected by this tragedy. Stay strong. Jb

Tonight is Council Grove High Schools Prom. Between approximately 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., parking will be blocked off in the 100 block of West Main Street to ensure the safety of our kids as they pull up in a lane created for them in front of the Territory Ballroom. Wood Street will be shut down during this time for the same reason. Have a great night kids 💯

Yesterday, Officer Jimmie Blackburn and K-9 Abby had the opportunity to visit 3rd grade students at Council Grove Elementary as part of the Morris County Emergency Management 3rd Grade Emergency Education Program. Officer Bree Wooden stopped by as well.

Throughout the school year, students have participated in hands-on lessons focused on emergency preparedness, including fire safety, EMS and first aid, spring weather safety, and law enforcement awareness.

The visit gave students a chance to learn about the important role law enforcement and K-9 teams play in protecting our communities, while also helping build positive relationships between students and first responders.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this outstanding program and always enjoy spending time with our local students.

🔥HEADS UP🔥 The fog is very thick in spots this morning so use caution and take appropriate safety measures including using your headlights and slowing down. Also, there will be pasture burning on Lake Road today beginning around 11 a.m. Don't hesitate to report poor driving conditions and law enforcement will be keeping an eye on it.
