"If you see something, say something." The saying has nearly become an American mantra. Here in the middle of nowhere the saying ought to be modified to, "If you see something, do something," because the people of Valley County "do." Regular readers of The Courier have seen several pieces on the state of our pool. The city pool is crumbling, literally under swimmers' hands and feet at times. A group of dedicated citizens have come together to form The Valley County Friends of the Pool,...
The City of Glasgow came one step closer to ending a months-long search to find and hire a criminal-focused city attorney.

The Valley County Sheriff’s Office and the Glasgow Police Department have pooled resources to upgrade their electronic management systems. The upgrade will help the agencies go mobile, which, according to Sheriff Tom Boyer, will put the deputy offices in the streets and out among the residents of Valley County. The mobile suite will build off the current Zeurcher system which is already utilized by VCSO, GPD, dispatch and the detention center. What the new system and infrastructure will add is the ability for deputies and officers to work c...

According to Sergeant Tyler Edwards with the Glasgow Police Department, the department had worked on a warning system...
Dear Editor, "To Serve and Protect" was – at one time- an extremely high standard the City Council proudly required from the Glasgow City Police. Unfortunately, this is not the impression I got from the March 4 City Council meeting I wanted Ordinance 18-81 – pertaining to overtime parking – to be amended, so I attended the meeting to find out what steps a citizen could take to amend a city ordinance....for instance, gather signatures and present a petition, etc. Here is the issue. One or more...

The closure of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development offices threatened to affect Glasgow’s upgrade to the water infrastructure prior to the end of the government shutdown on Friday, Jan. 25. According to the Director of Public Works Robert Kompel, if the Rural Development Office had not been able to process loan and grant payments for the project within the next month, then the city may have been forced to delay the upgrade. With parts on order and contractors lined up to begin work, that would have added additional c...

That presentation also addressed concerns that any arrest not...

The Glasgow City Council is expected to take up the issue of expanding the Glasgow Police Department’s arrest authority out five miles from the current city limits at their next regular meeting on Jan. 21.

According to Chief of Police Brien Gault, the reasoning is to alleviate concerns the department and the city have regarding liability for Glasgow police officers. Gault asserts that as it stands now questions on the liability of officers could c...
