Sheriff reports increased drug activity; county engineer urges public input on long‑range transportation plan
Summary
The sheriff reported a recent uptick in drug activity and praised partnerships including the Lakes Area Drug Investigative Division; the county engineer promoted an online long‑range transportation plan survey and interactive map at crowwing.gov to gather public comments.
County Sheriff reported a difficult recent period for deputies and thanked local pastors who met with department leadership; he also said the department welcomed a partnership with Mille Lacs Tribal law enforcement in drug investigations. "The guys have been very active and we've had a lot of activity with drugs, unfortunately," he said.
County Engineer Tim Bray asked residents to participate in the county’s long‑range transportation plan outreach, noting two engagement options on crowwing.gov: a traditional survey and an interactive map that allows people to drop pins and comment on specific transportation pain points. "If you haven't done it yourselves, I encourage you," he said, adding that staff want to capture perspectives from everyday users such as school‑pickup parents and bus drivers.
