Working Against Crime with the CCSD in Great Falls

If there ever was a double meaning sentence spoken, it probably was something like "How familiar are with our local Sheriff's Office in Cascade County?".

Now, that could mean one of two different things and can also have two different answers.

"More than I care to be" or maybe "Very.  They take care of a ton of services within our county."

Hopefully, it isn't that first one for you.  And hopefully you do know all of the services that the Cascade County Sheriff's Office/Coroner does perform.  But if you don't, you may be surprised at just how much they do behind the scenes.
