The Sleepy Eye Police Department showed off their new station at an open house held Monday afternoon. They won’t officially make the move to the new location at 200 Main St. East (old Liquor Store) until late next month but have been slowly getting things ready.
The day came a couple of months later than expected, but just the same, it came. MNDOT arrived in Sleepy Eye Monday morning (8/7) to remove the stoplights at the intersection of First Avenue / Main St. The equipment will be replaced with First Avenue stop signs and a pedestrian crossing. Vehicles on Main Street will now only be required to stop if people are crossing the street. The project was scheduled to be completed in May but was delayed due to the arrival of necessary equipment.

According to authorities Javier was found found stabbed around 10 p.m., He later died from his injuries. Three of the four suspects have been apprehended.
Javier’s parents, Viviana Rivera and Javier Olvera Sr., still reside in Sleepy Eye.

Police scanners throughout Brown Co. will go silent Monday Oct. 15 when the county’s public service agencies switch to ARMER (Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Responders)
ARMER is a digital state-owned system that will allow for interoperability throughout the state. Because it is a digital / narrow band system, current analog scanners will no longer receive transmission.
The Brown Co. Sheriff is scheduled to make the switch at 11 a.m. while other agencies will follow suit in the next few weeks.
Public Service radio communication will continue to be available to the public through a digital scanner, computer websites and smart phone apps.
