If a business or individual receives a letter from the National Child Safety Council like the one pictured below, it is not a scam. This program and the generosity of people in this community allows for this office to purchase items from the NCSC to hand out to citizens when they come into the office and at different programs we present or participate in throughout the year.

Trigg County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all of the businesses and individuals that have donated to the National Child Safety Council in previous years on our behalf and look forward to working with the community and the NCSC in the upcoming years.
