It's hard to put into words just how special the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Virginia was this morning.

As the lead agency behind Team Norfolk LETR we strive to make each year bigger and better than the year before. While the mission to spread awareness, promote inclusion, and raise funds for Special Olympics Athletes remains the same, it's the people behind Team Norfolk who make the difference. This year, Team Norfolk came together like never before and raised more than $5,800 (and climbing) for Special Olympics Virginia and personnel from the Norfolk Sheriff's Office, Norfolk Police Department, ODU Police Department, and Norfolk Probation and Parole were all a part of making it an amazing success!

Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts by participating, making a donation, or cheering us on along the route. Also, thank you to Starbucks-Wards Corner for setting up at the finish line with refreshments and giveaways. The event wouldn't have been what it was without all of you!

Tomorrow, more than 30 runners - representatives from the Norfolk Sheriff's Office, Norfolk Police Department, ODU Police Department, and Norfolk Probation and Parole - will be participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Virginia. The run will start at the Norfolk/VB city line and end at Norfolk State University Police Department.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an annual event that promotes inclusion and raises awareness and funds for Special Olympics Virginia athletes. Throughout the week, the torch is passed from city to city between law enforcement agencies as it makes its way to Richmond for the 2026 Special Olympics Virginia Summer Games.

This year Team Norfolk raised more than $5600 for this worthwhile cause and we are so thankful for all of the support we've received. If you see us running down Virginia Beach Blvd. tomorrow morning we would love to have you stop and cheer us on!

This morning, Sheriff Baron and Lt. Serrano had the honor of attending and participating in the Larchmont Edgewater Civic League Memorial Day Parade. Each year on Memorial Day the Larchmont community comes together to honor those men and women who lost their lives while defending our country. In addition to honoring fallen service members, this year’s parade also honored Lt. Col. Brandon Shah and his bravery.

May their sacrifice never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, honor, and selflessness will never be forgotten and we keep their families in our thoughts.

🚨 𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗠 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 🚨

The Jury Duty Scam is once again making its rounds.

We've received a few phone calls today from citizens telling us they were contacted by someone posing as Captain Gill with the Norfolk Sheriff's Office who tells the citizen they missed jury duty and need to pay a fine.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗔 𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗠. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗚𝗜𝗟𝗟.
𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥.

As a reminder, employees of the Norfolk Sheriff's Office will NEVER call asking for money and correspondence regarding jury duty is always done in person through deputies or through a summons posted on residential doors.

Please help us spread the word so others don't fall for this scam!

We are proud of our Programs Division and the work they do inside the Norfolk City Jail. Our programs are evidence-based and make a significant difference in the lives of the offenders in our care.

Yesterday previous Programs participants spoke with Keagan Hughes from WAVY TV 10 about the positive impact the Programs staff and the classes they teach have had on their lives. Stacey Sterling with Norfolk Public Schools and Ms. Radford from the Programs Division spoke about their passion for helping better the future of those they teach, while Ms. Perry gave a glimpse into the classroom and topics covered during her sessions.

Thank you Keagan Hughes WAVY for highlighting the meaningful work the NSO Programs Division does on a daily basis. And thank you to Dr. Houston and the Programs staff for making a positive difference in so many lives.
