Kind Words from Our Community

We recently received a message from a Josh Circle property owner recognizing Sheriff Chism, our Vice/Narcotics Unit, and the collaborative efforts with the N.C. Department of Public Safety – ALE Nuisance Abatement Team.

She shared:

“Sheriff Chism, we could not be where we are today without you and your team’s guidance and support. Your partnership has been essential to helping our community move in the right direction.”

She also offered special recognition to one of our Vice/Narcotics agents for his dedication throughout the investigation, noting his work gathering and validating information, assisting with multiple search warrants, and supporting the nuisance abatement process.

“Throughout this effort, he has consistently shown up, both physically and mentally, and done everything within his control to support us. His dedication and work ethic are truly appreciated!”

We are grateful to this citizen for taking the time to share these kind words. Making our communities safer takes teamwork, not only among law enforcement agencies, but with the residents who live there and are invested in their neighborhoods.

Thank you, ma'am. We appreciate your partnership, your trust, and your commitment to a safer Josh Circle. 💛

💛 GOING THE EXTRA MILE 🖤

We love receiving messages like this from our community!

A resident recently reached out to share their appreciation for Deputy Arias, who responded after they accidentally locked their keys inside their van.

Getting into the vehicle proved to be a little more challenging than expected, but Deputy Arias wasn’t giving up that easily! When the inside handle and unlock button weren’t an option, he carefully worked until he was able to hook the keys from the seat and maneuver them through a small opening in the door.

The resident told us they were impressed by his perseverance and extremely thankful he was the deputy who responded.

Sometimes serving our community means solving the unexpected problems, too. Great job, Deputy Arias, and thank you for going the extra mile to help! 👏🚔

Flock Safety Tranaparency Portal Coming Soon

We know there are questions and concerns in our community about Flock Safety cameras — what they capture, how the information is used, who has access to it, and what safeguards are in place.

We believe those are fair questions, and we want to make it easier for our community to find clear, accurate answers.

In the coming days, we will be adding a Flock Safety Transparency Portal to our website, along with answers to frequently asked questions about the technology and, most importantly, how the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office uses — and does not use — Flock cameras under our agency policy.

Our goal is to provide straightforward information about the technology, our policies, oversight and safeguards, and the limitations we place on its use.

We understand that trust comes from transparency and accountability, and we want our community to have the information needed to better understand this public safety tool and how it is used by BCSO.

Stay tuned — we’ll share the link as soon as these resources are available.

That's our hometown boy y'all! Congratulations Walker! We are so proud of you!

📱 BACK TO SCHOOL REMINDER: TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT ONLINE SAFETY

A new school year means new classes, new friends, and for many students, a whole lot of time spent online.

Our School Resource Officers want to remind parents and caregivers that one of the most important conversations you can have with your child this school year is about what they do, share and say online.

A few reminders for families:

• Know which apps and social media platforms your child is using.
• Talk about the risks of communicating with people they don’t know in real life.
• Remind them that people online are not always who they claim to be.
• Encourage them to come to you if someone online makes them uncomfortable, asks them to keep a conversation secret, or pressures them to send photos.
• Make sure they understand that sending, requesting or sharing n**e or sexually explicit images can have serious and sometimes legal consequences—especially when minors are involved.
• Remind them that screenshots exist. Something shared privately can quickly become very public.

Most importantly, keep the conversation going. Online safety shouldn’t be one big lecture, it should be an ongoing conversation that makes your child comfortable coming to you when something doesn’t feel right.

Our SROs spend a lot of time educating students about making good choices both in the classroom and online. Parents, we need you on the team too.

Before the homework, practices and activities of a new school year get into full swing, take a few minutes to talk with your kids about staying safe online.

Think before you post. Protect your privacy. And never be afraid to tell a trusted adult when something isn’t right. 💛🖤

A MESSAGE FROM SHERIFF CHISM REGARDING FLOCK SAFETY CAMERAS

We know there have been questions and concerns in our community regarding Flock Safety cameras, their use by law enforcement, and a recent incident involving a former member of our agency.

Sheriff Chism addresses those concerns directly in the video below.

A few important points:

• During a review of Flock system activity, information was identified involving the use of the system by a member of our agency that warranted further review.

• An Internal Affairs investigation was initiated, and the employee subsequently resigned from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office.

• The matter was referred to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for independent review.

• Because this involves a personnel matter and an ongoing investigation, North Carolina law limits what we can publicly release at this time.

• The concern was identified through a review of system activity — an important reminder of why auditing, oversight and accountability are critical when law enforcement uses technology.

We understand why our community is asking questions, and we believe those questions are important.

Public trust requires more than simply having policies in place. It requires accountability when something goes wrong, safeguards designed to prevent misuse, and transparency whenever the law allows it.

We remain committed to all three.
