The Geary County Sheriff's Office joins agencies nationwide to honor and thank all of the law enforcement officers who proudly serve their communities. We also take time to reflect and remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice as well as their families, friends and co-workers who ensure their legacies live on.

In 1962,John F. Kennedy declared May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and made the calendar week in which it falls as National Police Week. It was created to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Today, the Geary County Sheriff’s Office participated in a large-scale emergency training simulation alongside Geary County Emergency Management, Junction City KS Fire Department, Junction City, Kansas Police Department,Grandview Plaza, Kansas Fire Department, Stormont Vail Health Flint Hills Campus and Junction City High School USD 475 students.

The purpose of this exercise was to simulate a large-scale emergency response, evaluate our performance, and identify both strengths and areas for improvement. Today’s scenario involved a tornado striking the Geary County 4-H softball field during a tournament.

Throughout the exercise, responding agencies worked together to coordinate efforts involving injury response, casualty management, search and rescue operations, and road closures. These types of trainings are critical to ensuring we are prepared to effectively respond to real-world emergencies and continue providing the highest level of service to our community.
