Love to See It! Gun Locks Gone… and Refilled Again 👏
We LOVE seeing this!
Our free gun lock box in the lobby was recently emptied — which means members of our community are taking steps toward safe firearm storage. That’s something worth celebrating!
Good news… it’s been fully refilled and ready to go again.
If you or someone you know could use a free gun lock, stop by our lobby anytime and grab one — no questions asked.
A small step can make a big difference in keeping our families and community safe. 
⚠️ SCAM ALERT ⚠️
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has been notified of a phone scam involving jury duty.
A former Washington County resident, now living in Texas, reported receiving a call from someone claiming to be a WCSO deputy regarding a failure to appear for jury duty. The caller then transferred him to someone posing as a “Captain,” who advised that he would need to pay a fee.
We contacted the Washington County Circuit Clerk’s Office and County Clerk’s Office, and they confirmed that the individual has no pending issues related to jury duty. They also advised that this is the second report they have received this week involving a similar call.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office wants the public to know:
➡️ There is never a fee or fine for missing jury duty.
If you receive a call like this, do not provide personal information or send money. These callers are attempting to scam you.
If you have received a similar call or believe you may have been targeted, please contact the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
