Check out our website: http://www.phillipscountysheriff.org and our Facebook page, Phillips County Sheriff’s Office. Our Facebook page does give reports of scams and other important information as needed to get to the public.

FYI: Please remember to file a new burn permit for the 2025 year. If you plan on doing any burning in 2025, please file one BEFORE you start to burn. These permits are good for all of 2025 and you only have to file one a year, not every time you burn. All 2024 permits will no longer be valid after December 31, 2024. Call PCSO, 406-654-2350, to let Dispatch know of your controlled burn before you start, as a courtesy. Thank you!

All fingerprints that are needed for CWPs, schools, licensing or anything else are done from 9am to NOON every Wednesday.
