Yesterday your Southampton County Sheriff’s Office was honored alongside City of Franklin Virginia Police Department at the 2026 Faith in Blue service hosted at New Hope Baptist Church with supporting churches Old Cool Spring Baptist Church and Pine Level Baptist Church, along with Franklin Brother’s Keepers and Women of Grace, Strength, and Dignity.
It was an uplifting day of celebration, worship, support, and prayer. Thank you to all organizers who brought us together.

🌭 We decided to do something a little different today in an effort to give back to our great community. We hosted our first hotdog pop-up lunch! The beautiful weather made it the perfect day to spend some time grilling and serving those who stopped by. We served approximately 300 hotdogs! Thank you to everyone who stopped by (or were forced to stop…😉), we will see you again soon. 🌭

A special thank you to Charlie with Family 4 Eternity for helping serve!

Stay Safe SoCo!

🇺🇸NATIONAL NIGHT OUT: Part One🇺🇸

We would like to thank every member of our community who came out to make our National Night Out 2026 a huge success! These events are so important to us, as they are such a wonderful opportunity to engage with our community outside of normal law enforcement interactions. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the familiar faces and meeting new ones.

Once again, thank you for coming out. We can’t wait to see what next year holds!
