🚁 Did You Know?

The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office has FAA Part 107-certified drone pilots who are trained and authorized to operate drones for official public safety missions.

Our drone program is a powerful tool that enhances our ability to respond quickly and effectively in a variety of situations. These unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are used to:

✅ Assist in search and rescue operations, especially in remote or wooded areas
✅ Provide aerial support during tactical incidents, giving deputies a safer and broader view of the scene
✅ Document crime scenes and evidence from above, offering a unique perspective for investigations
✅ Support disaster response, such as storm damage assessments or locating stranded individuals
✅ Aid in fugitive apprehension, helping locate and track suspects who flee on foot or hide in difficult terrain

By using drones, CCSO can cover more ground in less time, reduce risk to personnel, and gather critical information that helps keep our community safe. All drone operations are conducted in compliance with FAA regulations and with a strong focus on privacy and public trust.

Our certified drone pilots are part of a growing effort to integrate technology into law enforcement in a way that is smart, responsible, and mission-driven.

🚨 SCAM ALERT – STAY AWARE 🚨

We’ve seen a recent increase in scam phone calls where individuals are falsely claiming to be law enforcement officers. Some are even using real names and spoofing official phone numbers, including numbers from our division.

These scam calls often:
🚫 Claim you have a warrant or legal issue
📞 Demand immediate payment or personal information
😠 Use threats or intimidation to pressure you
👮 Say you’ll be arrested if you don’t comply

REMEMBER:
✅ The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office will NEVER:
🚓 Call to demand payment or request personal information
💸 Ask for payment via Bitcoin, Cash App, gift cards, or wire transfers
📵 Issue or resolve warrants over the phone

If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately and contact our non-emergency line at 704-484-4822 to verify.

Stay alert. Stay safe. Share this message to help protect others in our community.

🚨 Did You Know? 🚨

The State of North Carolina requires law enforcement officers to complete 24 hours of in-service training annually on topics such as legal updates, firearms, and ethics.

At our agency, we believe that’s just the beginning.

💪 We go above and beyond the state minimum—requiring our deputies to complete significantly more training each year. Why? We’re committed to professionalism, preparedness, and providing the highest level of service to our community.

Whether it’s advanced tactics, de-escalation, K9 handling, or community engagement, our deputies are constantly learning and sharpening their skills.

📚 Training isn’t just a requirement—it’s a priority.
