As a 100% volunteer organization, the Arapaho Fire Department is built on community support and depends on dedicated individuals. “We all have daily full-time jobs, and as we get toned, we all leave those jobs to come and protect the community,” said Chief David Weaver. “Arapaho remains committed to protecting the life, property, and wellbeing of the citizens of Arapaho and the community.”

Exec. Director Ann Ashcraft

The Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes EMS plays a bit of a unique role in the community. “We are tribal. We do 911 calls, we also do interfacility calls,” said Executive Director Ann Ashcraft.

Sheriff Dan Day

Custer County’s Sheriff’s Office is comprised of many different officers and employees in different roles, all working together to provide law enforcement across the county and keep the jail in order. “Our department is really several departments because of the way the sheriff’s office functions,” said Sheriff Dan Day. “All of our guys do work hard – everyone in every bit of it.”
