🚨 MISSING PERSON LOCATED SAFELY – TEAMWORK MAKES THE DIFFERENCE!

We are happy to share a positive outcome involving a missing person from Washington County, Maryland!

At approximately 10:00 a.m. today, the Franklin County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) received an alert through our FLOCK camera system regarding a vehicle associated with 79-year-old Robert Wallace Skok, who had been reported missing from Hagerstown, Maryland.

FCSO immediately shared the information with regional law enforcement partners, and a coordinated search began. Shortly thereafter, FCSO deputies located Mr. Skok and his vehicle.

Most importantly, Mr. Skok was found safe and was able to return home!

This is a great example of how technology, communication, and the strong spirit of cooperation among law enforcement agencies in Franklin County can make a real difference.

A special thank you to the Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg, for their assistance!

At the end of the day, public safety is about working together, looking out for one another, and in this case helping bring someone home safely.

Today, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office had the honor of supporting and participating in Chambersburg’s inaugural Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics!

It was an incredible display of teamwork, community, and support for the athletes who inspire us all.

A special thank you to the Chambersburg Police Department, whose officers utilized motorcycles and bicycles to assist with logistics and route safety, and to the Pennsylvania State Police, who joined and supported runners along the way.

It was great to see so many law enforcement agencies come together, with participants traveling from as far away as York to support this meaningful cause.

We could not forget to mention that the Courts Service Dog, K9 Dudley made a special appearance to greet participants and show his support!

Events like today remind us that law enforcement is about more than enforcing the law. It's about building relationships, supporting one another, and standing behind a community where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

One torch. One community. One incredible cause.
