The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office had some very special visitors today. Emma Lynn Frost, Lizzy Frost and Lea Frost felt sorry for K-9 Deputy Ty because he needed a new sunshade on his kennel. After contacting School Resource Officer Chris Atkins, these girls took it upon themselves to make and sell lip gloss and other products to raise money for Ty. Today, they presented the proceeds from the sales to Deputy Addison Stratton and Sheriff Joe Milam to be used for Ty. They were also sworn in as our newest Deputies. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to these outstanding little citizens!

The thieves are at it again. If you receive a phone call, text message or email telling you that you have been awarded a government grant, please know this is a scam! These people are very persuasive and convincing but please do not give them any of your personal information or bank information. Most of these thieves are overseas or use multiple ip addresses that make it nearly impossible to track them down. Remember, if it’s too good to be true, it’s a scam! Please share this message.

Just a reminder, our office will be closed today and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday. As always, if you have an emergency call 911. We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for our many blessings.
