Anoka County Sheriff's Office In Andover To Close Early On Christmas Eve, Emergency Services Remain Available

The Anoka County Sheriff's Office in Andover will close early at noon on Christmas Eve and remain closed on Christmas Day, but emphasizes that emergency services will still be available.

In a move that's become a standard nod to the yuletide spirit, the Andover office of the Anoka County Sheriff's Office will be punching out early this Christmas Eve. According to Anoka County announcement they've made, doors will swing shut at the stroke of noon this December 24th and will remain firmly closed through the entirety of Christmas Day, December 25th.

For any residents with plans to handle official matters, or those often-inevitable holiday-time last-minute legal errands, you've got a narrow window on Tuesday morning to get things sorted. After that, the Andover location will be going quiet, save for the emergency services, which, as the office was quick to point out, will still be very much accessible. "If you are in need of emergency assistance, please dial 911," the office advised in a tone that suggested no interruption to the urgent call of duty.

While the rest of the world is winding down for the holiday, anyone caught in the jaws of an emergency won't be left out in the cold. The Anoka County Sheriff's Office assures that their response teams are primed and ready, Christmas or not. Patrolling officers and emergency responders remain on the beat, their resolve unmarred by the tinsel and cheer that might dominate the season elsewhere.

So, as stockings are hung and carols echo through the wintry Minnesotan air, remember that the only creatures stirring in Andover's Sheriff's Office come Christmas will likely be the very mice Santa forgot to include on his "naughty or nice" list. The rest of the force will be out ensuring the peace, so that the rest of us might unworriedly indulge in the festive tranquility that is owed to this time of year.
