Sherburne Co Sheriff

It's with heavy hearts and great sadness that we send our condolences to the @MinneapolisPD on the tragic shooting death of Officer Jamal Mitchell and the wounding of a second officer. Our office stands with your department during this difficult time.

Our investigators worked with Elk River Police today to investigate a threat that was made against an Elk River School District school. The threat, posted to Snapchat, alleged potential of violence later this week. A 13-year-old boy is in custody. There is not any ongoing threat.

Today, Sheriff Joel Brott presented a Life Saving Award to the youngest person ever to receive one from our office. Brott honored 4-year-old Asher Milless for his heroic actions in helping save his mother’s life during a medical emergency. facebook.com/SherbCoSheriff/

If you had a vehicle broken into please call 911 to report it. If you have video of the suspects, please call (763) 765-3500 and ask for Investigative Sergeant Ryan Sturm.

We’re also asking any residents who have Ring video or other video security systems at their residence to see if cameras recorded any related activity in the early hours today.

Thread: Our office has received several reports this morning of vehicles being broken into in the Zimmerman area. We are asking residents there to check their vehicles to see if anything has been taken.

The smoke in the air today is from the wildfires in northern Minnesota. We've been receiving many calls to our dispatch center asking about the smoke. There are no fires locally. These calls are taking away from the real emergencies our dispatchers need to address.

That tall man in the middle of the back row (blue shirt, red tie) is our very own Deputy Michael Sieg. Congratulations Deputy Sieg on earning a prestigious award.

Sherburne County's Zach Knapp is featured on the #DPSBlog regarding a traffic safety video he made.
