Well, certainly Mr. Chairman of County Commissioners, I appreciate being here before you today. 233 00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:32,120 We have several commendations that we want to present to the Commission and to the People of Ball in County. 234 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,560 You know, I talk about all the time, the hard work that these men and women do out there on the street. 235 00:17:37,620 --> 00:17:47,900 This is an opportunity to recognize some of their efforts. So if I could get trace buzzby, Zach Johns, Zach Ellis, landing pick it and Charles Best to come forward first. 236 00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:54,780 We'll note here in the Sheriff's Office, if you're not sure the first name to save Zach or Jack or Jacob and you're going to get most of them. 237 00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:06,100 So, commissioners, these deputies here were involved in a situation in the early morning hours of June to 6, 2026. 238 00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:14,440 The Sheriff's Office had received 11 reports of breaking and entering a vehicles in one of our subdivisions. 239 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:21,100 And while a break-in entering is not an uncommon call, the amount of tenacity that these 240 00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:27,200 deputies showed in pursuing the suspects all day long, they were able to affect the arrest 241 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:36,400 on three juveniles in close the case, obviously breaking in or vehicle is one of the most common 242 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560 things that we have, but I will say they're the hardest to solve. 243 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,740 And I will tell you that in my opinion, a lot of agencies, especially in the control of 244 00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:48,600 visions, would have turned this over to the investigators and left in worry about it. 245 00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:54,500 But I'm really proud to say that the work ethic of this patrol squad is second to 246 00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:54,700 none. 247 00:18:55,140 --> 00:19:00,760 And I want to give them accommodation for their efforts in solving these cases and keeping 248 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,460 ball in county's neighborhood safe in ones that people want to live in. 249 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,720 So with that, Chiefs are to give them. 250 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:08,820 All right. 251 00:19:08,820 --> 00:19:17,040 Thank you for your work. If you'll come over here and stand, they've already got their ribbons 252 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,040 for their uniforms. 253 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,820 So, Jared Allen, if you could come forward, 254 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,280 I will tell you, Commissioner, 255 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:45,400 this is one of the worst ones that you see in law enforcement. This isn't right in an 256 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:58,060 his instinct his law enforcement instinct kicked on he kicked in he realized that there was something wrong going on in this resonance and through his continued efforts in his beliefs he unraveled what I will be 257 00:19:59,180 --> 00:19:59,700 I 258 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:15,600 We call one of the worst sex abuse cases to ever strike ball in county. The victim was absolutely brutalized in his efforts. We have two people in the ball in county jail that will never see the light of day for him. 259 00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:31,530 Obviously, I appreciate his efforts and everything that he's done. Next, if I could get Cody Plato and Chief Steiner to come from. 260 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,580 Again, I talked a little bit about this. 261 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,320 I feel like we talked every week for the past few weeks, right? 262 00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:47,240 So, we talked about our water rescues this year and we've done 62 water rescues. 263 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:54,620 Well, this was back in July and some of you know this and a ton of Tyler and Mr. 264 00:20:54,700 --> 00:21:00,800 Lundier were involved in all this too, but essentially we had a storm system that was in 265 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,760 off and it called several days of double red flags. But somehow that red double red flag was 266 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,800 dropped too early and it became a crisis down there. Deputy Plateau had to enter the water to 267 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:19,720 affect multiple rescues as did Chief Steiner and Assistant Chief Han. In total they did 22 268 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,940 rescues that day alone. Two people had to be flown out for medical and two people taken by 269 00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:31,260 ambulance. When I talked to Chief diner, they were literally running out of equipment. We were able 270 00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:37,580 to get the beach clothes in a roundabout way through the systems that the county has purchased, 271 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,600 the two have purchased. We were able to do a reverse 911 call basically for a geo-fenced 272 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,380 area of Fort Morgan to ask people to get themselves out of the water. And it was a highly 273 00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:52,180 effective tool. And I think moving forward is something that we're going to use. But there's no doubt 274 00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:58,240 their efforts all three of them save lives that day. So again, I want to thank you for the 275 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,880 system. I want to thank them for their bravery. We ask the day to be given the commendation as well. 276 00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:04,980 Thank you. 277 00:22:22,220 --> 00:22:25,440 I think they're going to stand in front and we're going to stand in the back. 278 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,520 They'll put the big ones down. 279 00:22:30,460 --> 00:22:33,520 Don't let him stand. Just put the board. He's so sad in front of me. 280 00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:38,600 What's with you on the end? 281 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,340 Don't worry, we're scared, we've seen you. 282 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,140 I used to do that. 283 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,660 I don't want to. 284 00:22:58,300 --> 00:22:59,060 That's it. 285 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:00,820 Thank you guys. 286 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,060 Here we go. 287 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,520 You know, I just think clothes. 288 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,860 I'd like to say I appreciate all the other different, 289 00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:10,440 you know, talk about a family atmosphere. 290 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,880 They come up here and celebrate the successes. 291 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,980 of their fellow deputy, so it means a lot to me, too. 292 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:17,500 Yes, sir. 293 00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:18,180 Thank you, Sheriff. 294 00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:20,480 I'll start with Commissioner Gruber. 295 00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:22,820 I'm going to make any comments, Commissioner. 296 00:23:23,340 --> 00:23:23,540 Yeah. 297 00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:32,540 Thank you all for what y'all do, you know, breaking into people's houses and, you know, 298 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:38,120 especially using all this, that's terrible, you know, and I'm glad those, they will never 299 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,480 see daylight again, that's the best thing. 300 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:48,840 But, you know, for the rescue or the folks down there in Fort Morgan, thank you all very much for what you do down there. 301 00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:55,640 You know, it's dangerous, and people don't take that into consideration when they come down here to vacation, 302 00:23:57,660 --> 00:23:59,700 but the golf is a different animal. 303 00:24:00,260 --> 00:24:02,480 It's not like you're a little backmaze and stuff. 304 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,060 They can get very, very, very, very dangerous with the rip tide. 305 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,480 And people just don't know how to contemplate with it. 306 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120 And, you know, we see many lives lost down in that area. 307 00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,640 And across the whole coast, you know, from that. 308 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,280 But thank you all for what you're doing and protecting these citizens of London County. 309 00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:23,140 Absolutely. 310 00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:25,760 Dido everything, Commissioner Greber said. 311 00:24:26,020 --> 00:24:32,300 And it's always great to see who's actually doing these things that we hear about. 312 00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:37,480 know, we might read a name or we might say that a deputy was involved, but to see your faces 313 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,600 and to know that you guys are actually the ones out there boots on the ground, that is 314 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,660 so reassuring to us and I've always said that I have so thankful to be here in Ballon County 315 00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:51,580 where I still feel safe in Ballon County and it's because of people like you and it, you 316 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,760 know, the one thing where the guy will never see or whoever will never see daylighting 317 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,980 and that's fabulous, but you know, everybody, when, when, 318 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:08,820 You get your car broken into or your home broken into.
