๐Ÿ”’ Practicing Fi***rm Safety
Fi***rm safety starts with responsible ownership and secure storage. When not in use, fi****ms should be stored securely and kept inaccessible to children and other unauthorized individuals.

Teach children these four simple steps if they encounter a fi***rm:
โœ‹ Stop.
๐Ÿšซ Donโ€™t touch.
โ†ฉ๏ธ Get away.
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Tell an adult.

Safe storage and important conversations at home can help prevent accidents and keep fi****ms out of the wrong hands.

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ Statesville Police Department Mourns the Loss of K-9 Hoss

It is with heavy hearts that the Statesville Police Department announces the unexpected passing of K-9 Hoss on Monday, October 19, 2026. Hoss experienced a medical emergency and was transported to a veterinary office, where he sadly passed away.

Hoss, a four-year-old Dutch Shepherd, joined the Statesville Police Department's K-9 Unit on March 27, 2024, and worked alongside his handler, Officer J. Dooley, for the last two years. A dual-purpose K-9 trained in narcotics detection, tracking, and apprehension, Hoss was a dedicated member of the department's K-9 Unit and played an important role in protecting the Statesville community.

During his service, Hoss completed 168 deployments, including 152 narcotics detection deployments and 16 patrol deployments. His work contributed to 40 arrests, and his tracking abilities helped locate seven individuals. Hoss also assisted in the detection of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, methamphetamine, co***ne, and ma*****na.

Beyond his accomplishments in the field, Hoss was known for his loyalty, enthusiasm, and special bond with Officer Dooley. Whether working side by side or enjoying downtime together, the two shared a partnership built on trust and companionship. Hoss was especially fond of his tug toy and was known to show his affection by giving Officer Dooley hugs.

The loss of Hoss is deeply felt throughout the Statesville Police Department, especially by Officer Dooley, his family, and the members of the K-9 Unit. Hoss was more than a working dog. He was a trusted partner, a loyal companion, and a beloved member of both the Dooley family and the SPD family.

The Statesville Police Department extends its heartfelt condolences to Officer Dooley and his family during this difficult time. We are grateful for Hoss's dedicated service and the lasting impact he made on our department and community.

Rest easy, K-9 Hoss. Thank you for your faithful service. You will never be forgotten. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

โš ๏ธ Stopping the Harm of Counterfeit Products
Counterfeit products can look like the real thing, but they may be unsafe or even dangerous. Fake products can include everything from electronics and vehicle parts to cosmetics and medications.

Before you buy:
๐Ÿ”Ž Research the seller and purchase from trusted sources.
๐Ÿ’ฒ Be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true.
๐Ÿ’Š Only obtain prescription medications from a licensed medical provider and pharmacy.

A good deal isnโ€™t worth putting your health or safety at risk.
