I would like to thank the citizens of White County for their support in the past election. I am humbled to be elected for a fifth term as your Sheriff and will continue to serve you as I have for the past 16 years. I have the greatest respect for the Office of Sheriff. I would also like to thank my Deputies, Corrections Officers, Dispatchers and Court Security Officers. They are truly what makes this department great ! They are very dedicated people who do a very difficult job and deserve your respect. We will continue to make White County a safe place to live and raise your children. Thank you again! Sheriff Doug Maier

The County is under a Red Flag warning for the rest of the week. A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now....or will shortly. A combination of strong winds...low relative humidity...and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Impacts...ANY FIRES THAT DEVELOP WILL LIKELY SPREAD RAPIDLY. OUTDOOR BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
