Remembering Our Fallen Heroes: Law Enforcement Memorial Service
As we continue to reflect during National Police Week, we stand united to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities. This annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service serves as a solemn reminder of their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to justice.
This year, we gathered at the Fallen Heroes Memorial alongside our partners from Shelby Police Department, Kings Mountain Police Department, Boiling Springs Police Department, Atrium Health Special Police, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the Cleveland County District Attorney’s Office, local fire departments, and other public safety agencies. Standing together, we paid tribute to those who gave everything to protect and serve.
Their memory remains a guiding light, inspiring us to uphold the values they fought to defend and reminding us of the profound duty carried by all who wear the badge. We are grateful for everyone who joined us in remembrance.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.”

🌟 National Senior Fraud Awareness Day – Friday, May 15th 🌟
Scammers are getting smarter, and together we can help protect the seniors in our community. Older adults are often targeted through phone calls, emails, text messages, social media, and even unexpected visitors at the door. These scams can be convincing and costly.
This Friday, the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to take a moment to check in with the seniors in your life. A simple conversation can make all the difference. Remind them to stay cautious, ask questions, and never share personal or financial information when something does not feel right.
🚫 Common red flags include:
• Unsolicited calls asking for money or gift cards
• Messages claiming to be from government agencies
• High-pressure tactics demanding immediate action
• Threats of arrest, fines, or account closures
If you or someone you know suspects a scam or feels unsure about a call or message, contact the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office. We are here to listen, guide, and help keep our community safe.
Let’s look out for the people who have always looked out for us. 💛
