“It’s a major award!” A big shout out to our Sheriffs Workforce board member Denise Jordan and staff member Denise Kelcey on receiving the Age of Excellence award from Glenmeadow this evening.

Tomorrow is Overdose Awareness Day.

Tomorrow, the Michael J. Dias Foundation will wear purple to remember the lives lost to addiction and overdose, honor the families who carry that loss, and stand in support of those fighting for recovery.

But awareness has to lead to action.

We are just $100,000 away from opening the doors to our first women’s sober home.

Tomorrow, we’ll be asking our community to help us take another step toward making that dream a reality.

Because recovery needs a place to begin. 💜

Please wear purple with us tomorrow, share this post, and help us spread hope.

After picking up needles in some of Springfield’s parks there’s nothing better then puppy kisses from Maggie during our lunch break. Maggie is one of the Sheriff’s emotional support dogs that travels with her handler Pat between Department sites to visit staff and inmates as well as events in the community and area schools.

A beautiful day to help our community. The Sheriff’s Arbor program apprentices were in one of our area youth camps trimming dangerous limbs over walking paths and common areas. This kind of maintenance allows campers and camp staff to enjoy Mother Nature without any concern from above. 🏕️ 🌲 🏔️ 🏊‍♀️
