A Message from Sheriff Jeff Shaver

“Many Cherokee County families are preparing for spring break, and I want to remind everyone that a few simple precautions can go a long way in protecting your home and your property. Taking steps before you leave can help prevent crime and give you peace of mind while you’re away, so that you can have a relaxing time.”

The Sheriff’s Spring Break Safety Reminders:

• Avoid posting travel plans on social media. Wait until you get back home to share vacation pictures.
• Secure your home, vehicle, garage, and shed before leaving.
• Ask someone you trust to keep an eye on your home and collect your mail and packages.
• Protect your valuables. Keep items out of sight and use locks or security devices when possible.
• Keep a list of serial numbers for tools, equipment, and other valuables stored in garages or sheds.

When we work together and take these simple steps, we can reduce crime and keep our community safe. Let’s keep Cherokee County safe and enjoy spring break, everyone.
