Live Well, Age Wisely:
By the time this article is read, some of you may have already given up on some of the New Year’s Resolutions you made a week ago. Maybe the goal you set in your resolution was not reasonable – or maybe you don’t even believe in making New Year’s Resolutions? Either way, many use the beginning of a New Year as a “clean slate” to try to do things better, whether for ourselves or for others.

Sheriff partners with Crime Stoppers
While headlines about rising crime rates focus on the Twin Cities, residents across Minnesota have great concern about safety in their local communities. Important to solving crimes and keeping communities such as Yellow Medicine County safer is information about crimes and the people committing them that can help law enforcement make arrests and solve cases. To encourage members of the public in Yellow Medicine County to come forward with such useful information Sheriff Bill Flaten is partnering with Crime Stoppers of Minnesota to make that possible in a manner that is safe and proven to be effective. Committing to work with Crime Stoppers of Minnesota in their 2023 Law Enforcement Partnership Program, the Yellow Medicine County Sheriff’s Office invites persons who want to, or may need to, remain anonymous to submit information about a crime, criminal, or fugitive that helps solve a case. Providing information in this safe method can also save precious hours of investigators’ time, while protecting this anonymous source from retribution or harm for being known to have helped law enforcement. In addition to staying anonymous, persons giving information leading to a felony arrest may be eligible to collect up to $1,000 in reward paid by Crime Stoppers.
