Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office

The Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office was proud to continue supporting Special Olympics North Carolina and Special Olympics Cabarrus County during Young Athletes Day held May 13–15 at the Mary Frances Wall Center.

Young Athletes is an inclusive early childhood sports and play program for children ages 2–7, with and without intellectual disabilities. Through games, songs, and fun physical activities, children are introduced to basic sports skills while building confidence, social interaction, and teamwork in a supportive environment.

Programs like Young Athletes help children develop gross motor skills, encourage socialization, and prepare participants for future involvement in sports and other activities.

We are always honored to support the athletes, families, educators, volunteers, and organizers who make opportunities like this possible throughout our community.

As we continue Military Appreciation Month, the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office proudly recognizes those who have served in the United States Air Force and the Air National Guard.

We are honored to have members of our agency and community who have served our country and continue that service right here in Cabarrus County. Your commitment to others, both in uniform and beyond, reflects a lasting dedication to service that strengthens our community every day.

To all who have served in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, thank you for your service.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office, we recognize the importance of mental wellness not only within the community we serve, but within our own agency as well.

We are grateful for the strong support systems available to our employees, including our Peer Support Team, Chaplains, Responder Support Services, and wellness initiatives focused on physical fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing. These resources, along with the people behind them, play an important role in supporting our employees through the unique challenges that can come with this profession.

We are also committed to ongoing training to better respond to mental health-related crises with professionalism, empathy, and understanding while serving our community.

Mental health matters for everyone, and CCSO remains committed to supporting the wellbeing of those who serve our agency and community each day.

The Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents to use caution when using Bitcoin ATMs, especially if you are being instructed by someone else to send money through one. Scams involving Bitcoin machines continue to rise, and once funds are sent, they cannot be recovered.

Scammers may claim you owe money for jury duty, a warrant, bond payment, an emergency involving a loved one, or even an investment opportunity. In many cases, they will pressure victims to act quickly and direct them to a Bitcoin ATM to send payment.

In an effort to increase awareness and help protect our community, the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office has placed warning labels on Bitcoin ATMs throughout Cabarrus County encouraging users to stop, think, and verify before sending money.

If someone is demanding payment through a Bitcoin ATM, take a moment to pause and make sure the request is legitimate.

If you believe you may be the victim of a scam, please contact the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office at (704) 920-3000.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the unofficial start of summer. It is a time of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted.

We also hold close the families, loved ones, and friends who carry that loss every day. Their sacrifice is not forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends today, may we all take a moment to reflect on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of those who gave everything in service to others.

Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we continue to honor Military Appreciation Month, the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office recognizes those who have served in the United States Coast Guard.

Whether protecting our shores, conducting rescues, or ensuring maritime safety, Coast Guard members serve with courage and dedication every day. We are grateful for your service and your continued contributions to our community.

To all who have served in the U.S. Coast Guard, thank you for your service.

The Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program’s “Memorial Day Click It or Ticket” campaign to help remind motorists of the importance of wearing a seatbelt every trip, every time.

Seatbelts save lives, and buckling up remains one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your passengers on the road. As families travel throughout the Memorial Day holiday weekend, we encourage everyone to make safety a priority before heading out.
