Information release.
On September 3, 2026 The Burt County Sheriff’s Office received a report of an individual suffering from a mental health crisis who was armed with a firearm, and was possibly entering Burt County. Shortly after receiving the call, the individual arrived at the Sheriff’s Office. The dispatcher was the only person inside.

Due to the unknown circumstances, and the reported firearm, Sheriff Nick requested that the school be placed on lockdown as a precaution.

The individual eventually surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident. No firearm was located on the individual.

There is no threat to the public, and the situation has been resolved.

We would like to thank all of the law enforcement agencies who responded and assisted in safely resolving the incident.

🚨 PSA from Deputy Archer 🚨

The corn is getting higher than my caffeine levels on a Monday… 🌽😂

SLOW DOWN on those country roads!

I can’t see you.
You can’t see me.
But somehow… Godzilla can see ALL of us. 🦖

So take it easy, watch those intersections, and remember: just because you think nothing is coming through that corn doesn’t mean you’re right.

Let’s make sure the only thing getting stalked in these fields is the corn. 🌽😂

Drive smart. Slow down. And if you see Godzilla… well, Deputy Archer probably has that handled. 🚔🦖

🚔 Congratulations to Deputy Warner on his “big win” at the Burt County Fair Demo Derby! 🏆😂

(For anyone wondering… no, our patrol car did not actually compete. 😅)

With the extreme heat this week, everyone stay safe, stay hydrated, and find a way to keep cool! ☀️💦

After a completely scientific voting process involving the public, bragging rights, and probably a little shift rivalry… 🌙🚔

NIGHT SHIFT has officially won the Burt County Sheriff’s Office patrol photo contest!

Thank you to everyone who voted, commented, shared, and liked our post! The response was overwhelming, and we had a blast seeing all the support from our community.

To Day Shift: great effort, strong showing. ☀️

To Night Shift: please try to remain humble during this difficult time for your coworkers. 🌚🏆

Thanks again, Burt County — we appreciate all of your support for our deputies, day and night!
