1️⃣ No firearms or weapons are allowed on the property.
2️⃣ No drugs or alcohol.
3️⃣ Children eighth grade age and lower should be accompanied by an adult.
4️⃣ Take a picture of your child before entering the fair so you can provide an accurate photograph to deputies if you become separated.

With those things in mind, stop by and say hey to a deputy. We look forward to meeting you and having a great time at the Cleveland County Fair!

Anyone who steals anything that belongs to someone who has worked and acquired property needs to be punished fully. No slap on the hands. Extended jail time would cause this stupidity to decrease.
Some people just seem to never learn🤦♀️
It honestly really sad about this kid. He has such a good heart he’s just in with the wrong stuff. And this is coming from someone who has lived that life. 💔
The Sheriff’s Office Citizens academy has completed weeks 3 and 4. Both of these weeks consisted of the various functions of the Criminal Investigations Division. During week 3, the academy covered an overview of the entire division, explained the Sheriff’s Office procedure for maintaining the sex offender registry, the flock camera system, and victim services.
Week 4 included Crime Scene Investigation which is a branch of Criminal Investigations. The class was informed about the daily operations of CSI, as well as property management, collection of evidence, different variations of fingerprints, and the different types of scenes that CSI responds to. The class was also given an overview of the Sheriff’s Office digital forensics and K-9 “Coca”, which is specifically trained in electronics detection.
We are looking forward to week 5! ... See MoreSee Less

Two of our K9 handlers, Deputy Taylor and Deputy Beal, along with their partners, K9-Thanos and K9-Joker, were in attendance for K9 demos. Lt Howell and Sgt Lee brought the Sheriff’s Office Tactical vehicle for all the students to see. Thank you for allowing us to come! ... See MoreSee Less
