Sheriff Blake Wallace and the Duplin County Sheriff’s Office wants everyone to have a blessed and safe Christmas season.
Remember criminals love the holidays! The holiday hustle and bustle can sometimes cause us to put our guard down. Here are some tips on how to celebrate safely.
If you are traveling...
Get automatic timers for your lights. Ask a trusted neighbor to watch your home, pick up your mail, and park in your driveway from time to time.
If you are out for the evening...
Turn on the lights and a television or radio so it looks like someone is home. Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Do not display gifts where they can be seen from the outside.
If you are shopping...
Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Park in well-lit areas, and be sure to lock the car, close your windows, and hide all gifts and shopping bags in the trunk. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
Carry your purse close to your body and put your wallet in an inside pocket or front pants pocket. Have your keys ready to enter your vehicle when you approach it. Use your “panic button” on your key fob if you become nervous or think you are being followed. Lock your doors immediately upon entering your vehicle.
Shopping with the kids?
Teach your kids to go to a store clerk or security guard if you get separated, and don’t allow your kids to go off by themselves.
If you are home...
Always use caution when answering your door for a stranger, but especially during the holiday season! Criminals often use disguises and pose as couriers during the holiday season.
The holidays are the season for giving but donate only to trusted charitable organizations. Always ask for identification; if you do not get a good feeling from the person, refuse to donate.
Be aware of potential scams. Remember if is it seems to good to be true... it probably is. Also do not give any personal information (social security number, bank account information, date of birth, etc) to anyone on the phone or online unless you are certain about who you are talking with.
Be SAFE and HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Donald Hall,,,,,where you at?
Thanks so much for being an excellent role model today when officers went to a restaurant wearing masks in Kenansville. It shows your professionalism and also how smart you all are by considering how bad it would be for the local hospitals to have officers spreading the virus all over and by realizing the consequences of your actions on regards to our community;s safety by having officers in quarantine. I feel safe knowing we are all doing our part. I appreciate it and the community should be very grateful. The Duplin Times
117 south coming into Rose Hill has a speed limit sign of 40 mph with an arrow letting you know that the speed will change ahead. Well, the next speed limit sign is almost halfway through town. Just before you get to Charity Rd. They are using this as a speed trap. There is a car almost always posted up just after the sign with the arrow. I travel through often so I know where it should change. I got into an argument with my husband about slowing down. He said there wasn't a sign that changed the speed limit yet. So of course I had to check on my next trip through, now I have to go apologize to my husband.
Not only is Wanda Rogers harassing you guys but she threatened ME with her machete. I really wish she hadn't deleted the post and blocked me. She is basically a terrorist. I low key love it tho.
WANDA IF YOU SEE THIS COME GET GUUUURL
Great job apprehending the suspect in the breaking and entering at Hardee's yesterday!
Yes... let’s all join in the hatred of all police for the sins of a few. Let’s defund one of the most important public institutions in our countries history. Let’s have all badges removed and allow people to tend to their own safety and security.
But before you do so, Let me tell you about the badge and the thousands of good men and women it represents.
This badge ran towards certain death as the Towers collapsed on 9-11.
This badge ran into the line of fire to save the people in the Pulse Night Club.
This badge sheltered thousands as bullets rained down from the Mandalay Hotel in Las Vegas.
This badge protected a BLM rally that left five officers dead in Dallas.
This badge ran into the Sandy Hook School to stop a school shooter.
This badge killed the Oregon District mass shooter in seconds.
This badge has done CPR on your drowned child.
This badge has fist fought the wife beater who left his spouse in a coma.
This badge has run into burning buildings to save the occupants.
This badge has been shot for simply existing.
This badge has waded through flood waters to rescue the elderly trapped on the roof.
This badge has intentionally crashed into the wrong way driver to protect innocent motorists.
This badge has helped find the lost child so his mother would stop crying hysterically.
This badge has helped the injured dog off the road and rushed it to the vet.
This badge has escorted the elderly woman across the street because she couldn't see well and was afraid to cross.
This badge has bought food for hungry kids because they had been abandoned.
This badge has been soaked in blood and tears.
This badge has been covered by a mourning band to honor those who have sacrificed everything in service.
You may hate me because I wear it. But, I wear it with pride. Despite your hate and your anger, I will await the next call for help. And, I will come running without hesitation. Just like the thousands of men and women across this great nation.
This badge. ~Unknown
Every cop, cop friend, cop relative, and supporter should copy & paste!!! I just did
Too many dirty police in the county.
We here on Deer Hound Drive/Deer Hound Circle in Kenansville continue to have numerous problems with the children of the family that moved into #206 Deer Hound Drive; these youngsters are racing up and down our tiny, single lane roads, circling around using SR Highway 903 to get back onto Deer Hound at excessive speeds riding dirt bikes and quads; no helmets or protective gear...most week days they’re out there causing mayhem somewhere about 4:30- 7 pm, during the week-end anything goes...using excessive speeds they’re racing side by side or performing stunts such as popping wheelies, etc... oblivious to children playing, pets, law abiding traffic...they have become a huge menace to the neighborhood, taunting adults and using nasty hand gestures, etc...911 was called numerous times...this has been an ongoing problem since early July 2019...we definitely know (via our own ears) the parents are aware and obviously allow this behavior...the neighbors have given up relying on law enforcement...so what’s left for us to do at this point? Are we stuck waiting for one of the riders to kill themself or an innocent bystander...
I'm so disgusted with how my young niece was treated by state trooper Tripp. She was on her way home from from a church engagement when he viciously attacked her then aggressively dragged her from her vehicle. He didn't allow her to exit her vehicle to find her drivers ID. You have lost my respect. Cant trust crooked police. Ladies beware of state trooper Tripp.

can some one tell me what the laws are in Duplin county regarding backyard target shooting TIA
