❤️ Did You Know?

CPR Can Double or Even Triple Someone’s Chance of Survival

Every second counts when someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest. Without CPR, their chance of survival drops by about 10% every minute. But when someone steps in and starts chest compressions right away, it can double or even triple their odds of surviving.

✅ Over 350,000 cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals each year
✅ 70% happen at home, which means it could be someone you love
✅ Brain damage can start in just 4 minutes
✅ Only 40% of people get CPR from a bystander

Not trained in CPR? That’s okay.
If you ever face an emergency, our telecommunicators are trained to guide you through CPR over the phone until first responders arrive. You won’t be alone. Help begins the moment you call 911.

You don’t have to be a doctor to save a life. Even imperfect CPR is better than doing nothing at all.

💡 Take the step. Learn CPR. You could be the reason someone gets a second chance.

🚨 Did You Know?

There’s a new scam targeting families of people who have recently been arrested, and it’s hitting close to home.

Scammers are calling loved ones, pretending to be from law enforcement or ankle monitoring services. They claim that for a fee, the person can be released with an ankle monitor and take a class. They even promise the money will be refunded once the monitor is returned.

🔎 Here’s how the scam works:
📱 The caller may spoof the number to make it look like it’s from a sheriff’s office or jail.
📋 They often have real details about the arrest, which makes the call seem legitimate.
💸 Victims are told to pay using Cash App, Bitcoin ATMs, or other untraceable methods.
🚫 Once the money is sent, the scammer disappears, and the person is still in custody.

⚠️ REMEMBER:
🚓 Law enforcement will never demand payment over the phone.
📑 Ankle monitoring and release programs are handled through official legal channels.
📞 If you get a call like this, hang up and call the sheriff’s office directly.

📍 To verify or report a suspicious call, contact the Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office at 704-484-4822.

Let’s protect our community by staying informed and sharing this post with others.
