It is that time of year again when we partner with Royce Publications to raise funds through advertising on our office calendars. The proceeds from this effort help supplement City funding and are used to purchase items such as additional uniforms, office equipment, and other unforeseen needs throughout the year.

Representatives from Royce Publications may be contacting local businesses by phone or in person over the next week. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at 540-375-3040 or [email protected]

SCAM CALLS ARE ON THE RISE - EVERYWHERE
Remember... if anyone calls you asking for money over the phone - hang up immediately. The Salem Police Department, Sheriff's Office, or Courts system will NEVER ask you for money over the phone. A SCAM ALERT flyer is heading your way this month in your Salem utility bills. Save it, share it, and report it because anyone could be a target of phone call scams.

The Western Virginia Regional Jail Authority Board honored two great men this week. Our very own Steve Garber, who served on the Board for multiple years and Colonel David Cox, who officially retires in March.
We sincerely appreciate all these two have done to support the Sheriff’s Office and the Regional Jail Authority through their dedicated service.

Enjoy your retirement, you both deserve it!
