💜 October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜
When a loved one hurts you, it can be hard to know where to turn or what to do. The Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office Victim Services Team is here to help.
Applying for protection through the court can feel confusing and incredibly lonely. That`s why we created a 2-part video series to walk you through:
✅ The difference between a Domestic Violence Protection Order (50B) and a Civil No Contact Order (50C)
✅ The steps to get one in Cleveland County
Watch Part 1 now, and be on the lookout for Part 2 next week!
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.

Community Helpers Week at Resurrection Lutheran Preschool! 🐾🚓
This week, Deputy Beal and K-9 Joker visited the students at Resurrection Lutheran Preschool in Kings Mountain for Community Helpers Week. The children got to meet Joker, watch him show off a few skills, and ask questions about what our deputies and K-9s do every day. We also brought the Bearcat so the kids could get an up-close look at the vehicle.
Thank you to the teachers and staff for the invitation and to all the little helpers for being such a great audience. Visits like this are some of our favorites! ⭐

🎡🍟 The Fair Is Back, Cleveland County! 🍟🎡
The Cleveland County Fair runs TODAY to October 11, and your Sheriff`s Office is excited to help make it a safe and fun time for everyone. Before you grab the vinegar fries and head for the Ferris wheel, here are a few quick reminders:
1️⃣ No firearms or weapons are allowed on the property.
2️⃣ No drugs or alcohol are permitted.
3️⃣ Children in 8th grade or younger must be accompanied by an adult.
4️⃣ Snap a photo of your child before you enter. If you get separated, it helps deputies find them faster.
5️⃣ Registered sex offenders are not allowed on the property during the fair.
👮♀️ Deputies will be patrolling the fairgrounds and parking lots all week. If you have an emergency or need help, call 911 or flag down a deputy walking the grounds. And if you see something, say something!
Come say hey to a deputy. We`d love to meet you! Stay safe, have fun, and make this one to remember. 🎠🎆

Twenty-five years later, we still remember.
On this day in 2001, ordinary people became heroes in an instant. Firefighters climbed stairwells others were running down. Officers held the line so others could get out. Paramedics rushed in when every instinct said stay back.
That same spirit lives in the men and women who serve Cleveland County today. To every first responder, past and present: thank you for choosing to serve, even when it`s hard.
We remember. We honor. We carry it forward.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at the Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office!
This weekend is a great reminder to recognize the hard work that keeps our community running, and to say a special thank you to our deputies, detention officers, dispatchers, and civilian staff who are on duty today instead of home with their own families. 💙
Whatever your plans are, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday! 🎉 If you`re traveling or heading out for a cookout, please look out for one another out there. 🚗🔥
From our CCSO family to yours, Happy Labor Day! 🌟

It has been nearly 30 years since Minnie Lee Brooks was tragically murdered. Her family and the Sheriff`s Office are still searching for answers.
On September 6, 1997, Minnie`s body was discovered at 1451 Metcalf Road in Shelby. She was 27 years old. To this day, her case remains unsolved.
The Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office remains committed to solving Minnie`s murder. Someone knows what happened. Even the smallest piece of information could help bring answers to her family and justice to those responsible.
Call the Cleveland County Sheriff`s Office at 704-484-4822 or contact Crime Stoppers at 704-481-TIPS (8477). You may remain anonymous.
Please help keep Minnie`s name and story alive by sharing this post. Together, we can help bring justice.
