    In the country, hopefully.
    As noted above, I wrote to my Sheriff in Boone county. Both Sheriff Harris and his Chief Deputy Beard responded.

    Sheriff Harris response was:

    "I was not in DC for the NSA Conference.​
    With this said I was contacted on Friday by a concerned citizen with questions on Sheriff Jones out of Butler Co Ohio. She also wanted to know what Boone County’s plan was and would we be sharing that training like Butler Co. It looks like he is following some training from Texas A&M engineering. I will be following up on it as well. I will keep you posted on what I find out.​
    Sheriff Jones is receiving the same information we are from the government with the “Imminent Threat” but we are receiving very little follow up information from the government.​
    We should be worried and watching this as our boarders are completely open and these cells from other countries are coming in. No doubt some of them intend to do harm to our country.​
    I have cc’d my Chief Deputy Mike Beard on this email as both are following it and we also plan on starting our citizens academy back up to share information about this as well as information about the entire Sheriff’s Office. We will keep you posted sir. Thank you for reaching out!​

    Sheriff Harris has been to the border with the Indiana Sheriffs Association. Chief Deputy Beard confirmed the border is as bad as "we" think.

    He also stated the department is looking into a training course "When Disaster Strikes: Prepare, Act, Survive" and have found one that will be hosted in the state of Indiana in June. Boone county Sheriff's department will be organizing a team to go attend the training.
    We are fortunate to have some really good people here. They think like us. But this situation does seem much bigger than us, and them.
