Phillips County News republishes sheriff’s weekly report highlighting public-safety calls

Phillips County News republished the Phillips County Sheriff’s Office weekly report on February 25, 2026, reprinting a sheriff’s post dated “Phillips County Sheriff's Office|Feb 18, 2026” that covers the period February 5 through February 12, 2026. The week’s summary shows the sheriff’s office responded to 80 calls for service during that seven-day span, and recorded two arrests.

The weekly location breakdown in the Feb 18 posting lists City of Malta with 54 calls, County (unincorporated) with 13 calls, City of Dodson with 4 calls, City of Saco with 4 calls, Other jurisdiction assist with 3 calls, City of Whitewater with 1 call, and City of Zortman with 1 call for the Feb 5–12 period.

The Feb 18 posting also carries 2026 year-to-date totals labeled “2026 Calls to date.” Those figures show total calls at 389; County 110; City of Dodson 53; City of Landusky 4; City of Loring 0; City of Malta 236; City of Saco 28; City of Wagner 3; City of Whitewater 5; and City of Zortman 11. The line after “City of Zortman - 11” in the supplied excerpt ends with “Other...” and the remainder of that line is truncated in the available text.

For context, earlier Phillips County Sheriff’s Report posts on the site show comparable weekly volumes in 2025. A Nov. 5, 2025 header reproducing the Oct 23–29, 2025 week lists 86 calls that week with City of Malta 40, County 25, City of Dodson 7, City of Saco 4, City of Zortman 4, City of Whitewater 1 and one arrest recorded. A Sep 24, 2025 header reproducing Sept 18–25, 2025 lists 89 calls that week with City of Malta 41, County 23, City of Saco 11, City of Zortman 5, City of Dodson 4 and zero arrests recorded.

The reposted summaries do not include incident narratives, names of arrestees, charges, or detailed call types in the supplied excerpts. Several cumulative lines in both the 2025 and 2026 tallies are cut off in the excerpted text, including the “Other...” trailing text in the Feb 18, 2026 posting and truncated lines in the 2025 totals. The Feb 18, 2026 figures nevertheless make clear that Malta accounted for the majority of calls in the Feb 5–12 week and that Malta represents 236 of the 389 calls recorded year-to-date in the sheriff’s Feb 18 posting.
