Communication is Key! Pam Rogers, 911 Administrator
I am not sure how it happened, but I looked up and it is already July! I hope your summer is great so far. It is unbelievable to me that in another 6 weeks school will be starting again. We have had a few incidents this summer that I will touch on regarding thefts and burglaries, but the count is still down from previous years. Thanks to the deputies and our neighborhood watch groups, it is paying off to stay watchful, stay diligent and stay safe!
Safety Tip of the Month Safety tip for July: IT’S OKAY TO BE WRONG! Your police and sheriff’s departments know and understand that their citizens can’t always be right about what they think is a suspicious or wrongful activity. All they ask is that you call them whenever you think or feel something wrong is happening. If you call the police and you were wrong about your suspicion or what you thought was wrong, it’s ok, you won’t be in trouble with the police. It is the officer’s job to investigate calls that come in and to make sure that a crime is not being committed. Your job as a concerned citizen is to just let them know when you think something is wrong or suspicious. Note: From all of us to all of you, have a safe and happy 4th of July. Celebrate our great country’s birthday safely and take a minute to remember that we were founded on freedom. It takes all of us to make sure we stay free.

Suspicious vehicle—eastern Jackson County—White or light tan newer model Ford F150 crew cab truck with big tires, a Harley Davidson sticker on the tailgate, and three tractor tires in the bed pulled into a driveway in rural Jackson County. The passenger, a white female, approx 5’ 5”, dirty blonde shoulder length hair, came to the door and asked if Miranda lived there. The resident sent her away. Approximately one hour later, the vehicle returned and the passenger and driver, white male, 5’11” 110 lbs, very short black hair, began walking around the residence. The resident asked what they were doing there, and the driver said they had dropped something when they were there earlier. The resident told them to leave and they did without looking for the item. The resident followed the vehicle west and they pulled into several driveways before noticing him following. When they did, they pulled out of a driveway and left at a high rate of speed.
