Folks, today is National Fentanyl Prevention AND Awareness Day

From https://facingfentanylnow.org/ :

Fentanyl -A Grain of Death
Illicit fentanyl is a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than he**in and 100 times stronger than morphine. Just 2 milligrams, about the size of a few grains of salt, can be lethal. It is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45, and it kills at an unprecedented rate.

This day unites families, first responders, prevention advocates, educators, elected officials, and communities in every state. August 21 is more than a date, it's a promise to educate, prevent, and fight for a future free from fentanyl poisoning.

🎡 Come See Us at the Clallam County Fair! 🚓🚨🐾

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, and Search & Rescue are at the Clallam County Fair starting TODAY through Sunday!

Stop by our booths, meet the people who serve our community, learn more about emergency preparedness and Search & Rescue, and find out how we work together to help keep Clallam County safe.

🐾 HELP US REACH OUR $12,000 GOAL! 🐾

Clallam County Emergency Management needs to raise $12,000 to apply for a grant for an AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer. This specialized trailer would provide critical resources to help care for and shelter pets and other animals when disasters or emergencies force families to evacuate.

❤️ And your donation can go twice as far!

Pet Emergency Group has generously promised to match up to $6,000 in donations to help us reach our $12,000 goal. That means every dollar donated—up to $6,000—can be matched, bringing us one step closer to making this important resource available to our community.

📱 Want to help? Stop by the Emergency Management booth at the fair. We have flyers with a QR code to donate and more information about the AKC Pet Disaster Relief Trailer.

Every contribution, large or small, helps strengthen our community’s ability to care for all members of the family—including our four-legged ones—during an emergency or disaster. 🐕🐈❤️

📅 Today through Sunday
📍 Clallam County Fair

Come enjoy the fair, say hello, learn more about preparedness, and help us take advantage of this generous matching opportunity and reach our $12,000 goal!

Together, we can help make Clallam County more prepared—for people and pets. 🐾

State-wide summer DUI campaign - late August through early September

We’ve had an all-time low in crash deaths this year! In the few we've had, impairment remains a leading factor.

A community that cares is a community that thrives. Let's keep the trend going down: make a plan for yourself, intervene for a friend, and call 911 if the need arises. Our folks in uniform will help those who don't help themselves-for their own sake and for yours. Stay resilient, friends.

We’re excited to have him wearing a new uniform and joining our lineup.

Please help us welcome Corrections Deputy Jeff Ridgway to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office! ⚾👮

We’re excited to welcome Kimberlee and Justin to the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office! Both were recently sworn in as nurses and have joined the Corrections Clinical Services team at the Clallam County Jail.

Working as a nurse in a correctional setting is a unique and important job. Kimberlee and Justin will care for people with a wide range of medical needs, from routine medications and health concerns to emergent situations. Their work helps keep the people in our care healthy while also supporting the safety and day-to-day work of our corrections staff.

We’re glad to have them on board and look forward to having them as part of the CCSO family.

Welcome to the team, Kimberlee and Justin! We’re happy you’re here!

🚨 UPDATE – HATFIELD ARRESTED 🚨

On August 11, 2026, at approximately 12:21 p.m., Clallam County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a citizen tip that Aaron J. Hatfield had been seen in the area of Marsden Road in Port Angeles.

As deputies and Port Angeles Police Department officers responded, another citizen reported seeing Hatfield in the 100 block of South Brook Avenue.

While law enforcement was en route, a deputy located Hatfield in the yard of a private residence. Hatfield ran at the deputy at full speed and collided with him, causing both to fall to the ground.

Hatfield quickly got back to his feet and fled southbound as deputies pursued him on foot. During the pursuit, a deputy deployed a Taser, which was effective, and Hatfield was taken into custody. During a search following his arrest, deputies located a fixed-blade knife on his person.

The deputy involved in the collision with Hatfield was not injured.

Hatfield was arrested for:
• Assault in the Third Degree (against a law enforcement officer)
• Resisting Arrest
• Residential Burglary – Domestic Violence
• Assault in Violation of a No-Contact Order – Domestic Violence
• Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree – Domestic Violence

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office extends its appreciation to the Port Angeles Police Department for its assistance over the past two days, which contributed to the successful apprehension of Hatfield.

We also thank the community members who provided timely information to law enforcement. Their tips helped deputies locate and arrest Hatfield.

Inspector’s Corner — Traffic Talk SURVEY
Community friends of Clallam and Jefferson Counties:
Your local Target Zero Coalition, a group of traffic and collision/injury prevention specialists, is asking for your input on traffic safety. We have lots of information about collisions, but little information about near misses (close call events that did not result in injury or property damage, but had the potential to do so).

8 question survey link:

https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/bZZgCH3GFf

We've put together this survey to fill our knowledge gaps about roadways and behaviors on the Olympic Peninsula that contribute to close calls—the actual near-miss experiences you've had, which can shape crash prevention. The ‘experts’ don’t know what they don’t know! This survey can help us learn together 😊. Click the link to the short survey.
