Scammers are calling again. This is a reminder that we will not call you and ask for money or threaten you.

The Sheriff's Office has been contacted multiple times in the last few weeks regarding scam callers. We wanted to post a few reminders. The Sheriff's Office will never call you to tell you we are issuing a warrant. We will never call you and ask for payment over the phone. We will also never call you regarding Jury duty. These are all scams. Don't fall for the call. Do not give out any personal information, and end the call.

🚫🔥 BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🔥🚫

The Glades County Board of County Commissioners has implemented a countywide burn ban effective May 26, 2026, due to dry conditions and increased wildfire risk.

All outdoor burning is prohibited until further notice. This includes:
• Yard debris burning
• Campfires
• Bonfires
• Any unauthorized outdoor open burning

The burn ban is necessary to help protect the safety of our residents, firefighters, property, and natural resources.

We ask all residents and visitors to remain vigilant and avoid activities that could spark a fire.

Updates will be provided as conditions change.

Thank you for your cooperation and helping keep Glades County safe 💙
