In Champaign County, every life matters. We see you. We care. And we want you here - tomorrow, next week, and every day after that.

Su***de is preventable but only if we recognize the signs:
• Withdrawing from loved ones
• Drastic mood changes
• Talking about feeling hopeless or being a burden
• Giving away personal items
• Saying goodbye unexpectedly

If you notice these in someone you know (or in yourself) don’t wait. Say something. Reach out.

📞 Call or text 988 for 24/7, confidential support.

You are not alone. Your life is worth fighting for.

A new month is a good reminder to check a few simple things around your home and vehicle.

🔋 Check your smoke detectors and replace batteries if needed.

📱 Update your emergency contacts.Make sure phone numbers and important information are current and easy to access.

🚗 Check your vehicle emergency kit. Make sure you have the basics you may need if you get stranded or experience an emergency on the road.

Three quick checks. A few minutes of your time. A safer start to September.

What else is on your September safety checklist? 👇

💛 Have you heard about the S.P.O.T. Program? The S.P.O.T. Program, or 'Special Population Operation Team', helps give first responders important information that may assist them when responding to or interacting with a community member with special needs.

The program is available for both children and adults. Information provided through the application is kept on file with our Communications Center so responding units can access it when needed.

Interested in enrolling yourself or a loved one?

✔️ Request an application from the Sheriff’s Office
✔️ Contact the Communications Center and a deputy can deliver one
✔️ Complete the application and include a current photo, if available

A little information ahead of time can help our first responders better understand the needs of the person they are assisting.

Contact the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office or Communications Center to request an application or learn more about the program.

School is back in session! That means buses are back on the roads, kids are at bus stops, and mornings are busier than ever.

‼️ Slow down
‼️ Watch for children near roadways
‼️ Never try to beat a bus stop arm

Our children’s safety depends on all of us.

Farm equipment isn’t just on the roads, it’s pulling in, turning off, and moving between fields. 🚜 That means slow-moving vehicles may appear anywhere, anytime.

👀 Stay alert. Stay patient. Stay safe.
📵 Put the phone down!!! It only takes a second of distraction to change a life forever.

Let’s protect the people behind the machines who work sunup to sundown to feed our families and animals.
