Regarding yesterday’s post 05/30/2026 of the dog that was found. He was given some nice fresh water and some food! He was later safely picked up by Rowan Animal Control and transported to the shelter. The Animal Control employee advised the dog would be available to be picked up Monday 06/01/2026 if this dog is yours!

05/31/2026

If your dog has gotten out please contact the Landis Police Department. He is in our possession and we would like to get him to his rightful owners!

When you see flashing lights and hear sirens, remember that every second matters. Whether it’s law enforcement, fire personnel, or EMS responding to an emergency, moving over safely and yielding the right of way helps them reach those in need faster.

Stay alert, stay focused, and do your part to keep our first responders—and everyone on the road—safe. 🚔🚑🚒

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Memorial Day is more than a holiday — it is a solemn reminder of the courage, dedication, and selflessness of those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

The Landis Police Department extends our deepest gratitude to all Gold Star families and to those who continue to carry the memory of our fallen heroes.

May we never forget their sacrifice.

It’s hot enough outside to fry an egg on the pavement… but that doesn’t mean you should drive like your tires are melting. 😅

Slow down, stay alert, use your turn signals, and follow all traffic laws. The heat is rough enough — let’s not make the roads any hotter than they already are. Stay safe out there! ☀️🚔

Move over. Slow down. Save a life.

Every traffic stop is dangerous for law enforcement officers standing just feet away from speeding vehicles. When you see emergency lights on the side of the road, move over if possible or slow down immediately. One second of attention and courtesy can make the difference between someone going home to their family or not.

North Carolina’s Move Over Law (G.S. 20-157) requires drivers to shift lanes or slow down when approaching stopped emergency, law enforcement, or service vehicles with flashing lights activated. It aims to protect roadside workers and first responders.
