Look for scattered showers today with breezy conditions. Showers become more numerous tonight and Wednesday, especially south of Interstate 70. Highs will generally be in the 50s today and Wednesday. Some rain will continue Thursday, mainly east. With the bulk of the rain across the south, the drought areas across the north will see little relief.

Even in our deepest pain, God’s presence never leaves us. He draws near to comfort, heal, and lift up those who are hurting. If you’re feeling weary today, remember — He’s right there with you. 💛

Welcome Deputy Browning!

Please join us in welcoming our newest Deputy, Draven Browning ( #34-108), to the Howard County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputy Browning, 27, was born and raised in the Tipton/Howard County area and is a graduate of Tri-Central High School. He joins us as a lateral transfer after serving four years with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division as a Conservation Officer, where he worked as a K9 Handler, Sonar Operator, and Field Training Officer.

Deputy Browning could have chosen to continue his career anywhere, but he chose to make the Howard County Sheriff’s Office his home, a decision that speaks to the camaraderie, culture, and sense of purpose that define our team.

Welcome aboard, Deputy Browning. We’re proud to have you with us!

Captain Buckley
