Emergency Accident Reporting
During weather conditions where numerous accidents occur, the Sheriff’s Department can be overwhelmed by calls for service involving minor accidents.
Emergency reporting procedures.
• The Geary County Sheriff’s Department will not respond to non-injury accidents when the vehicles are operable.
• Drivers should move to a place of safety and exchange personal and insurance information and report the accident to their insurance company as soon as possible. File a report when there is property damage over $1000.00 with the appropriate Law Enforcement agency within forty eight hours.
• All injury accidents and accidents that block the street due to disabled vehicles should be reported to Law Enforcement. Law Enforcement and needed Emergency personnel will respond.
• As soon as caseload permits, the Sheriff’s Department will go back to normal report taking.
We thank you for your patience during this weather event.
