Today, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office pauses for the National Day of Prayer. We pray for unity, peace, and guidance for our community, our county leaders, and all who serve. Sheriff Alan Norman and the CCSO team are grateful for the continued support and prayers offered for our deputies, staff, and the citizens of Cleveland County.
Today, Wednesday, April 29th, is National Fentanyl Awareness Day.
The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office is taking this day to help raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and the lives it continues to impact nationwide. Fentanyl is an extremely potent synthetic opioid, and even a tiny amount can be deadly. It is often found in counterfeit pills or mixed with other substances without the user’s knowledge.
Please take time today to talk with your family, friends, and young people about the risks.
Education and awareness save lives.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, resources are available. You can reach local support services or call 988 for immediate help.
Together, we can protect our community.

Not all heroes wear capes, but today ours do! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
In honor of National Superhero Day, we had a little fun with some of our CCSO deputies. Every day, they serve with dedication, courage, and compassion, cape or no cape.
One of our favorite moments today was with the kids from Kids Place Preschool MMO. They looked up at our deputy like he was a real-life superhero, and honestly, we think they’re right. 💙
Thank you to the men and women who protect our community and go above and beyond to keep Cleveland County safe. We appreciate you today and every day.

Take Your Child to Work Day Spotlight 👨👦✨
In honor of Take Your Child to Work Day, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office is proud to highlight two of our Father/Son teams who serve our community together. One duo works in our Detention Division, and the other serves on Patrol. 💛
In Detention, we recognize Detention Deputy J. Rivenbark and Detention Officer J. Rivenbark. They bring dedication, teamwork, and strong family values to the Detention Center each day. 📘⭐
Out on the road, Deputy A. McCluney and Deputy J. McCluney serve side by side and continue a family tradition of service and commitment to keeping Cleveland County safe. 🚓💙
We’re grateful for the families who choose this profession together, and for the support they bring to CCSO. To these dads, their sons, and all the families behind our staff, thank you for being part of what makes CCSO feel like family. 🙏
