Highland County Sheriff’s Office

Today, we recognize the man who keeps us all in line… or at least tries to! 😂 Between keeping the county safe, managing the office, and putting up with all of us, we’d say he deserves a little extra appreciation today! 😉

We appreciate everything you do for our office and our community, even if we occasionally give you a reason to shake your head! 🫣

Being the boss of a Sheriff’s Office is no easy job, especially when your employees come with their own personalities, opinions, and occasional shenanigans! 🤪

We hope your day is full of appreciation, minimal headaches, and absolutely ZERO paperwork emergencies! 😂📋

Happy National Boss’s Day, Sheriff Kelly! We appreciate you more than you know! 👏💙🚔

🔥 WOOD STOVE SAFETY 🔥

As the temperatures drop, wood stoves are getting fired up! But before you turn that stove into a miniature volcano, let’s talk safety.

🪵 Have your chimney inspected and cleaned regularly. Creosote buildup is no joke.

🔥 Keep anything that can burn away from the stove. Firewood, furniture, curtains, laundry… basically, if it can catch fire, it doesn’t belong next to the stove.

🚪 Make sure your stove and chimney are properly installed and that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working.

🧯 Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and make sure everyone in the household knows where it is.
Remember your wood stove should heat your house—not become the reason the fire department has to visit. 🚒

Please take a moment to look at the image below for additional wood stove safety tips.
Stay warm, stay safe, and please don’t make us come meet your wood stove personally. 😉🔥

🦌 FOUND PROPERTY 🦌

With hunting season coming up, we’re pretty sure someone is missing this bag! It was found along Mill Gap Road (Route 84).

There is an old hunting license inside with a name on it. If you believe this may be yours, please be prepared to provide the name on the license so we can make sure we’re returning it to the rightful owner.

If this belongs to you, or you know who it may belong to, please contact the Highland County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line at 540-468-2210.

Let’s help get it back to its owner before hunting season kicks off! 🍂🦌
