This Memorial Day we honor the profound legacy of America’s fallen service members.
True freedom is a gift bought by the courage of those who never made it home. Today, we pause to remember their sacrifice, honor their bravery, and stand in solidarity with the families they left behind.
Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can choose to never forget.
May we all live lives worthy of their sacrifice. Have a safe, respectful, and meaningful Memorial Day.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: PROTECT YOURSELF 🚨

​Please be aware of a fraudulent "Court Enforcement Action" notice circulating in our community. This is a scam designed to steal your personal information and money.

​🚩 Why this is a scam:
​Contradicting Locations: The document features the "State of Idaho" seal but claims to be from a court in St. Louis County, Missouri. Official court documents will never jump between two different states like this.

​Suspicious QR Codes: Legitimate courts will not ask you to scan a QR code to "settle an unpaid balance."
​Incorrect Notification Method: The Lewis County Courts will NEVER notify you of a hearing, warrant, or legal action via text message or unsolicited email attachments.

​⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY STEPS:
​DO NOT scan the QR code in the image.

​DO NOT open any attachments if you received this via email or text.

​DO NOT click any links or provide personal/financial information.

​🏛️ Official Contact Info:
​If you are ever unsure about a notice regarding Lewis County Courts, please contact the court directly using official channels:
​Phone: 208-937-2251

🎧 The Calm Voice in the Storm 🎧

When minutes matter most, they are the first ones to answer the call. Today, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible team at the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Communications Center.

Behind every siren and every patrol car is a Dispatcher—the steady, calm voice on the other end of the line. While they may never be seen on the scene, they are the heartbeat of public safety.

They manage radio traffic, track deputy locations, and give life-saving instructions all at once.

They turn chaos into coordinates, ensuring help gets exactly where it needs to go.

They are the lifeline for our deputies, making sure every officer goes home safe at the end of their shift.

To our Lewis County dispatchers: thank you for your resilience, your professionalism, and for being the light in someone’s darkest hour. We see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn't do this without you.

📢 URGENT: Extended Power Outage Update
​The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office is sharing an important update from Clearwater Power Company regarding current widespread outages.
​⚠️ THE SITUATION:
More than 8,000 members are currently without power. Due to nearly 250 active outages, numerous broken lines, and trees continuing to fall, Clearwater Power reports that power will likely NOT be restored today.

​Many residents should prepare for a multi-day outage.

​🛠️ Safety Reminders:
​Downed Lines: Stay at least 30 feet away from any downed power lines. Assume all lines are energized and dangerous.

​Generators: Never run a generator inside your home, garage, or near open windows. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

​Food Safety: Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain temperature.
​Check on Neighbors: Please check on elderly neighbors or those with medical needs who may require assistance during a cold, extended outage.

​📞 How to Report & Stay Updated:
​Report Outages: Call Clearwater Power at (208) 743-1501 or use the SmartHub app.

​Emergency: Call 911 only for immediate life-safety emergencies.
​Please stay safe, stay warm, and look out for one another. We will share further updates as they become available
