The Lewis and Clark County 911 Center received eighteen Calls for Service in the Lincoln area during the week of Sept. 29through Oct. 5, 2019.
Twelve of those Calls for Service were traffic stops and two were civil services performed in and around the Lincoln area by deputies.
No calls for service last week generated a case report. Other calls for service in the Lincoln area were two 911 hang-ups, one parking complaint and Lincoln fire responded to one call for service which turned out to be a false alarm.
It has been brought to my attention numerous times by third party complaints, individuals are drinking and driving around town or are under age and drinking in the bars. If this is the case, we need the community members to report these types of crime when they see them. Drinking alcohol and getting behind the wheel of any motorized vehicle under the influence is a serious offense. It can be the difference between a family making it home safe and a family planning a funeral. Law enforcement cannot be everywhere at once, especially in rural Montana. Our mission at the Sheriff's Office is, "Dedicated to providing professional law enforcement services in partnership with the community." I believe strongly in our mission statement but it's going to take partnership with the community to get it done.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING; it could save a life.
