At what age does a puppy become a dog?
We’re not sure because K9 Thanos and K9 Joker are convinced they’re puppies forever. 😄💙

🌼 Won’t You Be My Neighbor Day – Friday, March 20 🌼

Today, we are celebrating the simple but powerful reminder from Mr. Rogers: “Look for the helpers.”

In Cleveland County, we are proud to see helpers in every neighborhood, people who look out for one another, lend a hand, and show kindness in small everyday ways. 💛

As we recognize Won’t You Be My Neighbor Day, we encourage everyone to:
• Check in on a neighbor
• Offer a kind word
• Lend a helping hand
• Spread patience, understanding, and positivity 🤝

Strong communities are built on kindness. Let’s continue taking care of each other today and every day.
-Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE READ & SHARE 🚨

Several people in our area have been receiving random text messages claiming to be from official agencies (like the DMV, courts, banks, etc.). These messages often warn about “unpaid citations,” “account issues,” or “urgent deadlines,” and then include a link to click.

Please do NOT click any links in unexpected texts, even if they look official or use scary language. Scammers are getting very good at making fake messages look real.

If you ever receive something suspicious:
• Don’t click the link
• Don’t reply
• Go directly to the official website or call the agency using a verified number

Stay safe and share this to help keep others from getting caught in these scams! 🙏💙

Scam Alert: CCSO Warns Residents of Verification Code Scheme

The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents about a scam in which suspects contact victims while posing as representatives of legitimate companies. The caller typically claims there is an issue with the victim’s account and offers to help resolve the problem.

During the conversation, the scammer will request that the victim provide a one-time passcode that has been sent to the victim’s cell phone or email address. If the victim provides this code, the suspect may be able to gain unauthorized access to the account, which can result in account takeover and potential financial or personal loss.

These social engineering scams can target a wide variety of accounts, including bank accounts, social media accounts, cell phone service accounts, and email accounts.

The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office advises citizens to never share one-time verification codes with anyone over the phone or through unsolicited communications. Legitimate companies will not ask customers to provide these security codes to verify an account.

Anyone who receives a suspicious request for a verification code should immediately terminate the communication and contact the company directly using official contact information.
