UPDATE!! Owner has been located and the dog has been returned, thank you!

SCAM ALERT:

A Hartley resident had a pop-up on their phone while opening a social media app advising them of a charge on their apple ID for a subscription they didn't know anything about. They couldn't close the pop-up or the app. They called the help number which lead to someone portraying to be a help line and then someone portraying to be a bank executive asking for private personal information and bank information. The resident contacted their bank and were advised the charges being reported weren't real and they were using them in an attempt to get private information to gain access to their accounts.

If you get this pop-up DO NOT call the number or give any personal information to anyone over the phone. You have to restart your device for the pop-up to go away. After that you should contact your bank to ensure the charges reported weren't real and also contact your local authorities.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact us.

UPDATE: Corrections have been made on this post regarding fireworks in city limits on New Years Eve. The original post was made with the original ordinance, seeing there was an amendment made in June this post has been updated accordingly. We apologize for any confusion have a happy new year!

2026 is coming and the Hartley Police Department wants to make sure you all get into the new year safely! So here’s a few reminders!

Fireworks are legal inside city limits on New Year’s Eve from 9am to 12:30am the immediate followng day. This was amended in June of this year and can be read below

Don’t drink and drive! Not only is it illegal, it’s a dangerous choice to be made for not only yourself but others. Enjoy your New Year’s parties but please have a safe way to get back home!

Everyone have a happy and safe new year!

For school updates: please monitor for updates from your school's website / social media / and/or any text alerts from the school.

Additional pockets of snow may arrive over the next few hours creating low visibility situations due to the increased wind speed in different areas. Snow predicted to end around 5:00 pm.

As this winter weather moves in please remember -

Snow Removal Parking Ordinance:

Also, please keep an eye on road conditions as you travel for the holiday weekend as travel conditions could worsen as this storm passes through.

Have a great weekend and stay safe!
