The Johnson County Sheriff's Office has received reports from over 40 homes in the White River Township area that have had mail stolen from their mailbox beginning 12/22/2018. Detectives are investigating and working with the United States Postal Service.
The suspect(s) are removing anything that looks like a Christmas card or a package from the mailbox, going to a dark area and opening the mail. They have left trash now at 2 locations on Fairview, near the intersection of Fairview and Peterman. The witness from 12/22, and victim of theft from his mailbox, saw a light grey Dodge Charger (2011 or newer) possibly with a temporary paper plate.
Please be vigilant and call in anything suspicious to our dispatch at (317) 736-5155. Also please consider investing in surveillance cameras for your property as these have been great help in making arrests and prosecuting suspects in these cases.
Many deputies participated again this year with the annual Shop with a Cop. It is one of our favorite parts of the Christmas season! Thanks to FOP Lodge 154 for putting it all together! Johnson County FOP Lodge #154

Johnson County Sheriff’s Office K9 Nitro has received a donation of body armor
Johnson County Sheriff’s Office K9 Nitro has received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vest was sponsored by Elaine Miller of Lillington, NC and embroidered with the sentiment “In honor of all K9s”.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a 501c(3) charity located in East Taunton, MA whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. The non-profit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially lifesaving body armor for their four-legged K9 officers. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provided over 3,100 protective vests in 50 states, through private and corporate donations, at a value of $5.7 million dollars.
The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate.
The donation to provide one protective vest for a law enforcement K9 is $950.00. Each vest has a value between $1,744 – $2,283, and a five-year warranty and an average weight of 4-5 lbs. There is an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States. For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978.
