Good afternoon!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!
The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department kicked off the week by participating in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Program. Thanks to your support and participation, we collected approximately 25 pounds of unused or unwanted prescription medications!
That’s 25 pounds of pills that won’t fall into the hands of our youth or potentially be misused by others!
Speaking of our youth, this week we also participated in Red Ribbon Week. Deputies spent time talking to students at Rison and Woodlawn, educating them about making healthier choices and staying drug-free.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and help make our community a safer place. Your involvement truly makes a difference!
Please don’t forget to stop by and visit us on Halloween! We look forward to welcoming our trick-or-treaters, and our awesome dispatchers have been working hard preparing for their visit.
