Sweet Home Police Department

Hello everyone!
Just a reminder that the Jim Bean Safety Fair will be happening this Saturday at Sankey Park. Please BRING YOUR BIKE with you. Bicycle registration will be free at the fair, and the Bicycle Rodeo is a real good time! (No children or adults will be lassoed at the rodeo. Chaps not provided.)

ALSO, we will have free document shredding at the SHPD parking lot. If you're not sure what to do with all the junk mail and those Costco receipts from 2020, bring 'em on by. They're no match for the shredder provided by 44 North Credit Union.

Tomorrow, June 4th, 2026, at 7 PM, will be the annual Senior Parade. SHPD Officers will help direct traffic as the parade proceeds down Long Street and through the avenues back to the High School. Traffic interruptions are likely during the parade. Please be patient as we help celebrate the class of 2026's huge accomplishments.

We've all heard someone say, "Those aren't my pants," when they get arrested with something they shouldn't have in their pockets. But we've never heard anyone say they have a snake in their pocket......until today.

Senior Officer Potter made a warrant arrest, and that's exactly what the arrestee told him. Senior Officer Potter searched the pocket and confirmed that there was, in fact, a small live snake in there. We appreciate the heads-up about the pocket friend, but we would also appreciate it if people didn't walk around with snakes in their pockets if they have warrants.

We are excited to announce that 44 North Credit Union is bringing Shred Day to Sweet Home on Saturday, June 13th at Sweet Home Police Department from 9am-Noon.

You may bring any unwanted documents to 1950 Main St. between 9am and Noon and we will make sure they get shredded and disposed of! After you are done getting rid of your sensitive documents, we hope you will then head to Sankey Park for the Jim Bean Safety Fair!
