Did you know this week is Law Enforcement Appreciation Week?
Tomorrow is Law Enforcement Memorial Day, a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
We know this is a last-minute request, but we’re asking everyone to wear blue tomorrow in a show of support and appreciation for our law enforcement heroes.
Let’s stand together to say thank you!

There is a train blocking the tracks on 441 and ninth St. in Okeechobee…buses are stuck and not able to get turned around. They have been stuck for over an hour now. If your OHS kids have not been picked up this is why. Please have patience with the drivers this morning. This will put all buses late to their runs and schools. Thank you! 😊

Summer Fun Alert!
The Sheriff’s Department Summer Camp is back and better than ever! This amazing opportunity gives kids a chance to build friendships, learn leadership skills, and have some serious summer fun—all while connecting with our local law enforcement in a positive, encouraging environment.
Spots are limited, so don’t wait!
For details and registration info, see the attached flyer.
Let’s make this summer unforgettable!
