Cumberland County ranks in the top 10 statewide for traffic fatalities. Speeding continues to be one of the leading contributing factors in serious and fatal motor vehicle collisions.

Throughout the day, deputies, troopers, and police officers were strategically positioned across the county to monitor high-traffic areas and highways with one common goal: slowing drivers down and saving lives.

This week, Sheriff Morgan and Emergency Servicess Director Crumpler are discussing the dangers of misusing the 911 system and what happens when you call for emergency assistance.

Every day, our emergency communications center receives calls from citizens who genuinely need help. Unfortunately, we also receive false reports, prank calls, and intentionally misleading information. These calls divert law enforcement, fire, and EMS resources away from real emergencies where lives may be at stake.

Making a false 911 call is not a joke—it is a crime. When emergency personnel are sent to a fake incident, they may be unavailable to respond to someone experiencing a medical emergency, a fire, or a crime in progress. We encourage parents to speak with their children about the proper use of 911 and remind everyone that misuse of the system can result in criminal charges.

When you call 911, our telecommunicators are trained to gather important information to ensure the appropriate response. Some callers become concerned when questions are being asked, but it's important to know that help is often being dispatched while these questions are being answered. The information you provide helps first responders arrive prepared and equipped to handle the situation safely and effectively."

Remember: Stay calm, answer the dispatcher's questions, and know that help is on the way.

Together, we can keep emergency resources available for those who truly need them and ensure our first responders can continue serving our community efficiently and safely.

☀️ SUMMER CAMP VISIT ☀️

Sheriff Morgan and deputies had a great time visiting Swans Creek Missionary Baptist Church summer camp today and talking with some amazing children!

During the visit, Sheriff Morgan spoke with the children about safety, answered questions about law enforcement, and provided hands-on opportunities to explore the Detention Prevention Trailer, watch a K-9 demonstration, and meet Buckle Bear.

P.S. Before anyone asks... no, the deputy did not exceed the weight limit for the bounce house! 😂 He was simply joining in on the fun and making memories with the kids.

Building positive relationships with our community sometimes means stepping outside of our comfort zone—and occasionally into a bounce house. We think he handled the assignment pretty well!

We would like to thank the camp staff for inviting us to be part of such a fun and memorable day. Seeing the smiles, excitement, and curiosity from the campers made the experience truly rewarding. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with these young community members and look forward to participating in future events.

We hope everyone has a safe, fun, and enjoyable summer! ☀️🚔

We're taking it back to the year 2000!

Take a look at this photo of one of our deputies from over 25 years ago. A lot has changed since then—uniforms, vehicles, technology, and maybe even a few hairstyles—but the commitment to serving and protecting our community remains the same.

Can you guess who this deputy is? 👀 Drop your guesses in the comments below! ⬇️

We'll reveal the answer later today. Until then, enjoy this trip down memory lane and help us celebrate the dedicated men and women who have proudly served our community throughout the years.
