Calling 911 for Non-Emergencies like VIN Inspections, parking complaints, or general information inquiries places a dangerous burden on public safety infrastructure.

Every unnecessary call to an emergency line occupies a dispatcher who could otherwise be fielding a life-or-death report, such as an active structure fire, a severe medical crisis, or a violent crime in progress.

Please call 812-838-1320 for Non-Emergency Requests...

*SCAM ALERT*SCAM ALERT*SCAM ALERT*

Today the Posey County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a scam where a male is calling citizens of Posey County and impersonating Chief Deputy Jeremy Fortune. The scammer states that the persons answering the phone has a bench warrant and Chief Deputy Fortune is going to arrest them if they don't pay the warrant. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE AND IS A SCAM. We do not call citizens about warrants.
