Brown County Sheriff Department To Modify Hours of Operation Due To Staffing Shortages

The change begins June 12.

KBRB Ainsworth - The Brown County Sheriff’s Department is temporarily moving to modified hours of operation in the administrative office due to staffing shortages.

Beginning Friday, June 12, the administrative office in the sheriff’s department will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

All jail inmates currently in custody, as well as any future jail inmates, will be housed in neighboring correctional facilities for the time being.

Law enforcement service will continue, with deputies available to respond to calls for service. Emergency 911 services will continue 24 hours per day.

Residents needing law enforcement service on weekends and after 8 p.m. will need to call 911, as the administrative phone line at 402-387-1440 will not be answered during those hours.

Sheriff Brent Deibler said the department understands the change may cause inconvenience. He said he appreciates the community’s patience as the department works through the unforeseen staffing shortage.
