🇺🇸 WE WILL NEVER FORGET — SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 🇺🇸

Today, the City of Rogersville Police Department joins our nation in remembering the innocent lives lost and honoring the extraordinary sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.

We remember the firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, military members, and countless everyday Americans who showed incredible courage in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Many ran toward danger to help people they had never met, and some made the ultimate sacrifice while doing so.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor their bravery, their service, and their sacrifice. May we also remember the unity and compassion that brought our country together in the days that followed.

To the victims, their families, the survivors, and every first responder who answered the call — we remember you. We honor you. We will never forget.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Never Forget.
City of Rogersville Police Department
💙 United we stand.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE SHARE 🚨

The Rogersville Police Department has been made aware that someone is calling local residents and falsely claiming to be with the Rogersville Police Department.

The caller is telling residents that they have missed jury duty and may owe money or face consequences.

⚠️ THIS IS A SCAM.

The Rogersville Police Department does not handle jury duty, and we will not call you regarding missed jury duty or demand payment because of it.

If you receive one of these calls:

• Do not provide any personal or financial information.
• Do not send money, gift cards, or make any type of payment.
• Hang up immediately.
• Never trust a phone number simply because it appears to be from a local or law enforcement agency—caller ID can be spoofed.

Please help us protect our community by sharing this warning with your family, friends, and neighbors, especially those who may be more vulnerable to these types of scams.
