On October 8, 2026, at 4:21 p.m., the Boone Police Department lost a dear friend, brother, and one of the men who helped shape the history, traditions, and culture of our department, former Chief of Police Robert “Zane” Tester.

Chief Tester faithfully served as Chief of Police from 1986 to 1998 before retiring from law enforcement to answer a higher calling and serve full-time as a local pastor. In total, Zane dedicated more than five decades of his life to serving the citizens of Boone and Watauga County, first through law enforcement and later through his faith and ministry.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

764 targets children. THIS FBI TARGETS 764.

Prasan Nepal, aka “Trippy,” a senior leader of this depraved network, PLEADED GUILTY. At least 8 minor victims, some just 13 years old.

764-related arrests UP NEARLY 500% last year.

No child is your prey. No corner of the internet is safe.

Earlier this month, officers from NYPD 114 Pct  responded to a call for a one-month-old baby who stopped breathing.

Our officers immediately began chest compressions and saved the baby’s life.

Incredible job by New York’s Finest!

The Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office SD announces with profound sadness the passing of Deputy Katherine Frank, age 26, earlier today.

She was shot Friday night in Sioux Falls and fought for three days.

Deputy Frank was surrounded by her family and loved ones in her final moments. In her final act of service and generosity, she became an organ donor, continuing to help others even in her passing. Katherine worked at the South Dakota State Penitentiary from September 2022 until being hired with the Minnehaha County Sheriff’s Office in June 2024.

Deputy Frank’s death is a significant loss to our agency and to the broader law enforcement community in and around Sioux Falls. She served the citizens of Minnehaha County with professionalism, humility, and dedication. Her absence will be felt deeply by all who have had the privilege of working alongside her.

Rest In Peace, Hero🖤💙
