🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

The Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office is issuing an important warning to the community about a current scam that has been targeting local residents. In this latest version, the scammer is targeting individuals who have recently bonded out of jail and/or their family members.

The caller claims that you must make a payment via PayPal or other means in order to have your ankle monitor put on. The Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Probation do not conduct operations in this manner.

We want to strongly remind the public that this is a scam, and we urge everyone to stay vigilant. Do not share personal information, send money, or engage with anyone making similar threats.

Protect yourself and your neighbors – please help spread the word to prevent others from becoming victims of this or any similar scam.

If you see our deputies out working, please let them know how much we appreciate their sacrifice during the holidays!

We wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday season!🎁🎄

Representing our agency were U.S. Air Force Veteran Deputy Richard Durham and Marine Corps Veteran Sgt. Jeff Edwards, who proudly stood in remembrance of the men and women who have served our nation and now rest in honored memory.

This meaningful event serves as a powerful reminder that their sacrifice is never forgotten. We are grateful to the volunteers, families, and community members who came together to honor our fallen heroes and ensure their legacy lives on.

We remember. We honor. We teach.

🚨 North Carolina Move Over Law: Protect Those Who Protect Us 🚨

When you see flashing lights on the side of the road—blue, red, or amber—please remember North Carolina’s Move Over Law. This critical law requires drivers to move over one lane or slow down when approaching law enforcement officers, tow truck operators, EMS, firefighters, DOT crews, and other emergency or service personnel working on our highways.

These professionals risk their lives every day to keep our roads safe. A simple action behind the wheel can prevent a tragedy.

Do your part:
🔹 Move over at least one lane when safe
🔹 If you cannot move over, slow down and pass with caution
🔹 Stay alert, avoid distractions, and watch for responders on the roadside

Let’s work together to ensure everyone makes it home safely.
Move Over. It’s the Law.
