Community Partnership
Today, the Metro Moore County Sheriff’s Office Investigative Team, along with our Deputies, executed a search warrant at a residence in the northern part of the county in support of a serious felony investigation.
Upon entering the residence, Deputies encountered several Pit Bull dogs, including one that was extremely aggressive. Calls were immediately made to Friends of Animals, and without hesitation, Director Christy Eskew sprang into action to assist our officers and safely remove the animals.
Christy then reached out to Lynchburg Veterinary Hospital, and once again, their incredible staff stepped up without hesitation to provide assistance and support our mission.
We would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to Dr. Morton and his entire team, as well as Mrs. Christy Eskew and Friends of Animals, for always going above and beyond for our community. We also want to extend a Thank You to The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Forensics Team for their support, and help with collecting evidence.
Their willingness to answer the call, support our officers, and help protect animals is truly invaluable. Partnerships like these make a tremendous difference in keeping our community safe and making Moore County a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
We appreciate you having our backs and being there when our community needs you most! 🇺🇸🐾
Thank you for all you do!
