💗 Training together to protect our smallest community members.

Recently, we joined AdventHealth Redmond for the annual Code Pink drill—a practice response to a child abduction or missing infant.

The exercise brought hospital staff, AdventHealth Security, and our officers together to practice a quick, coordinated response. During the drill, the simulated missing infant was located in less than 10 minutes after the report.

Thank you to AdventHealth Redmond for partnering with us to strengthen communication, teamwork, and preparedness. These exercises help us work together when every second counts.

🏅 OFFICER OF THE MONTH | Trenton Hart

Quick action. Lifesaving care. A servant’s heart.

Recently, Officer Hart was on patrol when a citizen flagged him down about a man who had accidentally shot himself nearby.

Officer Hart immediately responded and found the man with a serious gunshot wound to his legs. He applied a tourniquet, stopping the bleeding until EMS arrived. His quick response and calm actions under pressure helped save the man’s life.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Trenton Hart on his Officer of the Month recognition! Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to the community you protect. 💙

| GEORGIA POWER DISCONNECTION SCAM 🚨

Scammers are getting more convincing, and this latest scam is designed to make you believe you're speaking directly with Georgia Power.

⚡ HERE'S HOW THE SCAM WORKS:

You receive a phone call that appears to come from Georgia Power. The caller claims your account has a past-due balance and threatens to disconnect your electricity unless you make an immediate payment.

The caller then explains that credit cards cannot be accepted because the account is delinquent. Instead, you're instructed to purchase a money order to prevent disconnection.

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
- The caller threatens immediate disconnection.
- You're pressured to pay right away.
- You're told traditional payment methods cannot be accepted.
- You're instructed to purchase a money order or use an unusual payment method.
- The caller ID appears legitimate, but the caller's demands are suspicious.

⚠️ REMEMBER: Scammers can manipulate caller ID information to make a call appear to come from a legitimate company. Just because your phone displays "Georgia Power" does NOT mean Georgia Power is calling.

✅ PROTECT YOURSELF:

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up. Contact Georgia Power directly using the phone number on your bill or through its official website to verify your account status.

Never send money or provide personal or financial information based solely on an unexpected phone call.

Don't let the threat of losing electricity pressure you into losing your money.

📢 Share this warning with family, friends, and neighbors, especially those who may be more vulnerable to these scams.

💙 Stronger connections. Stronger community.

This morning, public safety partners and City and County leaders gathered at Truett’s Chick-fil-A for the annual Faith & Blue Gathering.

Pastors from several area churches and chaplains from AdventHealth Redmond and Atrium Health Floyd joined us for breakfast and offered prayers for our personnel and the community we serve. We are thankful for their encouragement, care and continued support.

Faith & Blue brings law enforcement, faith communities and neighbors together to build trust, strengthen relationships and support safer communities.
