Visit with Polk County Sheriff’s Deputies at the Polk County Fair

Fertile, MN — The Polk County Sheriff’s Office will have officers on hand at all times during the Polk County Fair this week. Not just to patrol, but to visit with and get to know area community members. Sheriff Jim Tadman says they will have a booth at the fair and they strongly encourage folks to stop by, say hi, and ask any questions they may have.

Sheriff Tadman also reminds folks who are attending the Polk County Fair or other events to make sure your vehicles, homes, and garage are locked up. Prowlers are always looking for easy opportunities and if you leave valuable items easily accessible, you run the risk of getting them stolen.

If you notice anything or anyone suspicious, please report it. Sheriff Tadman notes that they just apprehended a suspect involved in a number of burglaries in western Polk County because a community member noticed suspicious activity and reported it to law enforcement.
