When terrorism strikes, first responders step up and answer the call. Thousands of police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel helped to save innocent lives during 9/11, some of which offered the ultimate sacrifice with their own lives. Today, 25 years later, we respectfully honor those men and women who fearlessly answered the dreaded call all first responders hope to never receive. Their bravery was a testament to their professionalism and a model for future generations of law enforcement officers.

Provided are photos from yesterday’s Patriot Day 2026, an event hosted by Fuqua Bankston Funeral Home which graciously celebrated current first responders in remembrance of the heroes of the 9/11 tragedy.

K-9 Ammo or K-9 Delta… which is the best police K-9?

We think they’re both pretty phenomenal and we are proud to call these two our own! Over the weekend, K-9 Delta was deployed to do exactly as she was trained… to sniff out hidden narcotics. While we’ve elected not to give out specific information regarding the case, just know K-9 Delta was successful!

K-9 Ammo shouldn’t go unrecognized as well. He is naturally hungry for the hunt and shows up every day ready to work.

Both K-9s are trained and certified in the detection of narcotics. Officer Kelcey Dendy is the certified handler of K-9 Delta while Corporal Roy Henderson is the certified handler of K-9 Ammo.

The concern of credit card skimmers is growing and what better way than to show you pictures from real investigations Captain Evans conducted so you know exactly what to look for.

⚠️Skimmers are devices used to capture debit card information which is later retrieved by criminals for transactions. Skimmers are commonly found at gas pumps, ATMs in less populated areas, and retail or grocery terminals.

⚠️ Protect yourself by using these simple methods:
If the card reader looks unusually loose, bulky, or different from other machines, don’t use it. Always choose a gas pump closer to the door in clear view of foot traffic and camera footage as these are less likely to be compromised. Most importantly, select the credit option when using your debit card to bypass the PIN number requirement.

Policing isn’t always about the things you see on tv. Sometimes, it’s about the privilege of being able to be present for life’s big moments for the people we serve.

‼️With phone scams on the rise targeting people for financial gain, it’s important to share with your loved ones of the most recent methods used for victimization.

🚩Individuals over the age of 60 are most vulnerable to phone related financial scams.

🚩Imposters pose as representatives of banking institutions via phone to obtain personal information. This is done so by claiming the account has been compromised and victims are asked to verify their information to correct the issue.
-When asked for social security number or account information via phone, immediately end the call and contact your brick and mortar bank to verify.

🚩Scammers call victims claiming they have won a substantial amount of money and to claim their reward, they are asked to mail gift cards loaded with funds to a specific location.

🚩 Romance scams are often conducted by meeting victims through a social media platform, building trust through constant communication and flattery. Scammers then ask victims to send large amounts of money to help finance their in person meeting.
- These scammers are often overseas and recovering the money for the victim becomes incredibly difficult.
-Never send money to anyone you’ve never met in person.

Stay tuned for more details about financial scams and how you can protect yourself and loved ones from becoming a victim.
