Happy Father's Day!

Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures who lead with strength, love, patience, and unwavering support. Thank you for the guidance you provide, the sacrifices you make, and the memories you help create.

From all of us at the Iredell County Sheriff's Office, we wish you a happy and blessed Father's Day.

This week, members of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Lake Patrol stopped by the Lake Norman Yacht Club Sail Camp to visit with the young sailors participating in camp.

Our deputies enjoyed spending time with the campers, sharing their love of Lake Norman and talking about the importance of boating safety. We were excited to connect with young sailors who share a passion for the water while reinforcing the importance of wearing life jackets, respecting the lake, and making safety a priority every time they're on the water.

We are proud to see this mobile command unit continue serving the people of North Carolina. After witnessing the challenges faced by first responders during Hurricane Helene response and recovery efforts in Western North Carolina, Sheriff Darren Campbell recognized the need for this resource in Rutherford County. Rather than retiring a vehicle that still had plenty of service left to give, Sheriff Campbell and the Iredell County Board of Commissioners were honored to donate it to an agency where it can continue supporting critical incidents, search and rescue operations, and emergency response efforts.

Originally purchased by the Iredell County Sheriff's Office in 2004 using federal asset forfeiture funds seized from criminal activity, this unit has served our citizens for more than two decades without being purchased with local tax dollars. We are grateful for the opportunity to support our law enforcement partners and help ensure this valuable resource continues serving communities across our state.

A registered s*x offender who fled North Carolina to avoid prosecution has been captured following an extensive investigation led by Detective A. Sanford of the Iredell County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from federal law enforcement partners.

Katherine Stewart, along with Michael Buckner and Robert Miller, fled the state and traveled toward the Canadian border in an attempt to evade law enforcement. The investigation ultimately led to the location and apprehension of all three in Valley County, Montana.

Please join Sheriff Darren Campbell in congratulating Stephen Little on his promotion to the S*x Offender Compliance Unit within the Iredell County Sheriff's Office Special Victims Unit.

Little earned an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice Technology from Mitchell Community College before completing Basic Law Enforcement Training. He began his career with the Iredell County Sheriff's Office in June 2018, serving for one year in the Detention Center. He then spent two and a half years as a Bailiff in the Iredell County Courthouse before transitioning to the School Resource Officer Division in 2021.

During his time as a School Resource Officer, Little served at several schools throughout Iredell County, where he built strong relationships with students, faculty, and staff while helping foster a safe and positive learning environment. In addition to his primary duties, he also served in secondary assignments with the Criminal Investigations Division and Special Victims Unit during summer breaks from school.

This promotion reflects his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving the citizens of Iredell County. We look forward to seeing the impact he will make in his new role within the Special Victims Unit.

Today, we honor the Stars and Stripes. A symbol of the freedoms we cherish, the sacrifices made to protect them, and the unity that binds us together as Americans.

As we observe Flag Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the values our flag represents and the men and women who have defended those ideals throughout our nation's history.

From all of us at the Iredell County Sheriff's Office, we proudly salute our flag and those who serve under it.

May we never take for granted the freedom it represents. 🇺🇸

Today, members of the Iredell County Sheriff's Office had the privilege of participating in a Flag Day Ceremony in Mooresville.

As part of this meaningful event, our Honor Guard presented the colors and assisted in replacing the flag flying at Government Center South with a special American flag that was flown over the United States Capitol in honor of the Iredell County America 250 Commission.

Thank you to the Iredell County Public Library and Iredell NC 250 for allowing us to be part of this special ceremony.
