Graham County Kansas unfortunately has been decreasing in size for the past several years and consequently the tax burden has become greater and greater upon fewer and fewer people. Consequently the law enforcement budget has not been able to grow with the mandatory mandates that have been handed down through the years. A few years ago this adminstration actively pursued a means in which to temporarily reslove that problem. We entered into a contract with Sedgwick County Kansas to hold some of their inmates on a per deim basis. This agency whole-heartedly supports the Hill City Police Department D.A.R.E. program and ongoing cooperation allows it's D.A.R.E. instructor to teach the D.A.R.E. program in the other fine Graham County schools in Morland and Bogue.

The best crime prevention program is simply an aware public that is willing to get involved and solve community problems.

It is common for offenders to move and fail to notify the sheriff's office in their county of residence of that change.
