Elder Fraud Alert: A money mule is someone who transfers or moves illegally obtained money for someone else, and even if you think it's a legitimate job or a favor, it can still be a crime.

🚩Watch out for these red flags:

🔹You’re contacted about an “easy money” job that involves using your bank account or opening a new one.

🔹A social media or online “friend” asks you to receive and forward money without more information.

🔹The person offering the opportunity avoids professional details.

🔹You’re told to transfer money via wire, prepaid cards, cryptocurrency, or money services.

🔹 You’re promised a cut of the money just for moving it.

Remember: Acting as a money mule can lead to serious legal trouble — even if you didn’t know it was a scam. Learn more here: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/money-mules

On this day 25 years ago, many of us can remember exactly where we were. We remember the circumstances, the thoughts that went through our minds, and the fear that struck as we watched the events of September 11 unfold.

Twenty-five years later, we have not forgotten, and we never will.

To the brave men and women who gave their lives trying to save others, we have not forgotten you. To the innocent people who were simply going to work, traveling, visiting, or going about their day, we have not forgotten you. To the families who lost someone that day, and to those who have carried that loss for 25 years, we have not forgotten you.

We also remember the evil that brought such tragedy to our country. We remember what happened, and we remember why it is important that we never forget.

But September 11 also showed us something else. It showed us what America can look like when we stand together. In the days and weeks that followed, Americans came together. We put aside our differences, looked out for one another, and stood together for our country.

That unity is something worth remembering, too.

May we never forget the lives lost on September 11, 2001. May we continue to honor their memory by looking out for one another, standing together when it matters, and keeping the love and pride we have for this country strong.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Have you considered a career in law enforcement?

The DCSO is now hiring 911 operators to be the voice on the other end of the phone when someone needs help. When an emergency happens, that first call can make all the difference.

Our 911 team:

• Receives calls for service
• Dispatches Sheriff’s Office, Fire, EMS and other agencies
• Documents and communicates important information
• Provides emergency assistance over the phone
• Helps connect people in our community with the resources they need

This career is for people who want to make a difference in their community. People who can stay calm when things get difficult. People who are willing to stand in the gap and help others when they need it most.

You don’t have to wear a badge to serve your community. Sometimes, you just need to answer the call.

Join the DCSO family today and start a career where what you do matters.

We wish every day was International Dog Day so we could brag on our pups! 🐾

Oakley, Jimmy, Rambo and Pablo are more than just four-legged partners. They are an important part of the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office family, working alongside their handlers every step of the way.

From tracking and searches to detecting threats and helping keep our community safe, these K9s put in the work day in and day out. They train hard, work hard and, of course, know how to enjoy a little downtime with their partners.

Happy International Dog Day to Oakley, Jimmy, Rambo, Pablo and all the working dogs out there! 🐕‍🦺
