Alan Jackson said it best - "It's nine o'clock somewhere."

Which team are you voting for? Bomb or SWAT?
Let us know in the comments. (We know it’s not fair, because you guys are going to vote for Caspian 100% of the time)
Did your Monday after daylight saving feel like you were dragging our SWAT Bearcat? Cause, same.

Looks like the 49ers will be taking home the Lombardi.
Rumor has it, y'all love Caspian - so do we!
Here's a fun little video of Caspian doing his thing before yesterday's State of the City event at the MSU Dome.

Hi. Maybe let’s throw those headlights from Auto to On with this fog…just a thought.
If you’re feeling wild and crazy, flip those fog lights on too.
Bye!
Meet Ike.
Ike, meet everybody. Everybody, meet Ike
Ike is the newest addition to our K9 division. Ike is the goodest of boys and enjoys sniffin' out crime, workin' his tail off, and the occasional belly rub.
If you ever find yourself being chased by Ike, well.... it’s probably best to avoid that situation altogether.
Happy New Year from all of us at the department.
We hope it only takes a few days to quit writing 2023 on everything.
(In our best Dad voice) "Lock your car."
In the past two months, there have been 16 reported auto burglaries in Minot. (𝘽𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙮: 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳 𝘷𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘧𝘵).
14 of the 16 were vehicles were left unlocked.
Another tip: Remove valuable items from your car if possible; otherwise make sure the item is placed out of sight.

Back to school safety tip
✏️Easy as 1-2-3✏️
🚌School is starting soon, so we will see an influx of those awesome back-to-school chalkboards.
We want to share a few safety tips regarding those signs.
First and foremost, be careful about the information you post on social media.
❌Avoid information like age, school, teacher's name, pets and their names, etc.
✅Instead, use things like their favorite subject, what they want to be when they grow up, a fun fact, and something they can do, like tie their shoes, etc.
We understand your child's safety is the top priority; it is ours, too.
Keep those back-to-school posts coming; just be mindful of the information you share on social media.
