From the City of Sheridan.
Following the tragic death of Sergeant Nevada Krinkee of the City of Sheridan Police Department on February 13th, the City and our Police Department have been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support throughout our community, region, and state, including many partners around the country.
We want to thank everyone for their heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and condolences. The City is extremely grateful to the cities of Gillette and Casper for their immediate response yesterday in sending officers to augment our force and provide physical and moral support to our First Responders.
It has never been clearer that when the chips are down in Wyoming, so many are available to step up to the plate. We are grateful. As of 9:00 am this morning, the situation is unresolved, but we have the right people managing the scene, and we remain hopeful for a peaceful resolution.
With icy roads occurring overnight, our officers continue to patrol, responding to multiple accidents. Our community has been deeply affected by this tragedy. We are resilient and continue to band together in this time of adversity.
