Major County Sheriffs of America

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of retired Oakland County Sheriff's Office K-9 Odin. K-9 Odin faithfully served the residents of Oakland County from 2013 until his retirement in 2020. Throughout his distinguished career, he worked tirelessly alongside his handler, demonstrating unwavering loyalty, courage, and dedication in service to our community. Thank you for your faithful service. Rest easy, K-9 Odin. 🖤🐾

Congratulations to Deputy First Class Tom Lassiter on his retirement after 20 years of dedicated service to the residents of Orange County! Deputy Lassiter’s commitment to service began with four years in the United States Marine Corps before joining OCSO. During his time with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, he served as Team Leader for the Emergency Response Team and spent six years serving the students and staff at Lake Weston Elementary School. Thank you for your decades of commitment, leadership, and service to our community and country. Wishing you all the best in this well-earned next chapter. Congratulations!

Speeding and aggressive driving don’t just put you at risk, they put everyone on the road in danger. As part of a grant-funded traffic safety initiative, our Air Support Unit and Motorcycle Unit are working together to identify and stop dangerous drivers throughout Miami-Dade County. From the air and on the ground, deputies are targeting speeding, reckless driving, and other hazardous traffic violations to help keep our roads safe. Slow down. Drive responsibly. Arrive alive. #DriveSafe #TrafficSafety #MDSOprotecing ——— El exceso de velocidad y la conducción agresiva no solo ponen en riesgo su seguridad, sino también la de todos los que comparten la vía. Como parte de una iniciativa de seguridad vial financiada mediante una subvención, nuestra Unidad de Apoyo Aéreo y nuestra Unidad Motorizada están trabajando en conjunto para identificar y detener a conductores peligrosos en todo el condado de Miami-Dade. Desde el aire y en tierra, los agentes de MDSO están enfocando sus esfuerzos en el exceso de velocidad, la conducción temeraria y otras infracciones de tránsito peligrosas para ayudar a mantener nuestras carreteras seguras. Reduzca la velocidad. Conduzca de manera responsable. Llegue con vida.

Healthcare fraud isn’t just a financial crime - it’s a threat to public safety & health. The DEA will not stand idle while criminals exploit patients, abuse positions of trust, and put profits over people. Learn more: dea.gov/documents/2026… @TheJusticeDept @WhiteHouse @FBI

We have a great cohort of Sheriffs enjoying their training this week. Thank you to @NIC_DOJ for making this course possible.

Congratulations, Emiliano! You make a fine San Diego County Sheriff!

We had a great time teaching kids how to fish today at our annual Fishin’ with Grady Judd event! Kids had the opportunity to learn alongside our deputies while enjoying free food, ice cream, and plenty of fun giveaways. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a reel-y great day 🎣 #PCSO #GradyJudd

I am deeply honored to be inducted into the Miami-Dade County Women’s Hall of Fame.

To the women and girls who aspire to lead, serve, and make a difference: never underestimate the impact you can have. Thank you to Miami-Dade County for this incredible honor. —— Me siento profundamente honrada de ser incluida en el Salón de la Fama de las Mujeres del Condado de Miami-Dade.

As hurricane season gets underway, @Sheriff_Rosie and members of the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office joined Florida Chief Financial Officer @GovGoneWild, State Representative @OmarBlancoFL, and @MiamiDadeFire’s Urban Search & Rescue team to share important hurricane preparedness and safety information with our community. The message was simple: prepare now, not later. Review your emergency plans, build your supply kits, document your property and belongings for insurance purposes, and stay informed through trusted sources. Taking these steps before a storm can make all the difference when severe weather threatens our area. #YourMDSO remains committed to helping keep our community informed, prepared, and safe throughout hurricane season. #HurricanePreparedness #YourMDSO #ReadyFlorida

With the FIFA World Cup starting next week, the safety of fans, athletes, & host communities remains the top priority. Today, @SecMullinDHS and @RepDaleStrong discussed efforts to counter malicious drones through law enforcement coordination at every level, and how these insights will strengthen preparation for future events like the 2028 LA Olympics & Paralympics:

I am incredibly proud of the advanced technology our department continues to implement through the use of drones. Providing critical information in real time helps our deputies respond more effectively, solve crimes faster, and enhance the safety of both our communities and our personnel. I encourage you to watch this video to learn more about our Drone as First Responder Program and the impact it is already having across San Bernardino County. @VictorvillePD

Couldn’t imagine a better day to celebrate the 375th Harvard University Commencement Exercises.

Great article from @accpolice Deputy Chief Keith Kelley and @APCOIntl CEO & Executive Director Mel Maier on the vision of Next Generation 911. @MCSheriffs is proud to be a member of the @NG_911Coalition which continues to advocate for 911 advancements. policechiefmagazine.org/comprehensive-…

Major County Sheriffs of America was proud to have @OCSheriffBarnes participate in a joint roundtable hosted by @RepPfluger to discuss homeland security threats, emerging issues, and planning for the upcoming FIFA World Cup and America 250 events. pfluger.house.gov/news/documents…

Last week, Vice President Vance honored fallen officers at the Peace Officer Memorial Service: "God bless the fallen and may he continue to bless the great United States of America."

On May 15, 2026, @SheriffMina, members of FOP Lodge 93, and sworn personnel who proudly served alongside Haley Pine’s father, had the privilege of watching her walk across the stage as she graduated from The First Academy. Haley is the daughter of fallen Deputy Jonathan Scott Pine, and while her father could not be there in person, his law enforcement family was there to cheer her on every step of the way. 💙 Today was more than a graduation day. It was a reminder that the bonds of this profession never fade and that we will always honor the promise to care for the families of our fallen heroes. Deputy Pine’s sacrifice protecting our community will never be forgotten, and neither will the family he loved so deeply. Haley, we are incredibly proud of the strong, remarkable young woman you have become. Congratulations on this milestone and on the bright future ahead. Your eternal law enforcement family will always stand beside you. #NeverForgotten #GraduationDay #Congratulations

ON OUR HOME TEAM: As Santa Clara County gets ready to welcome the @FIFAWorldCup, we’re spotlighting some of the teammates who help keep our community moving safely every day. One of them is Deputy Oliver Navarro. You’ll often find Deputy Navarro on our @VTA trains and buses as part of the Transit Patrol Division — checking in with riders, responding to calls, and lending a hand with ongoing investigations. He’s the kind of steady presence you want on your team, which is why he earned the @SCCgov Employee Excellence Award after @SuperBowl LX at @LevisStadium. Before that big game, Deputy Navarro really stepped up, coordinating K9 teams and bomb sweeps to help ensure a smooth and safe experience for everyone. And when high‑pressure situations pop up, he’s quick to take the lead, keeping operations organized and on track. Through it all, his goal stays the same: delivering top‑tier service to riders and the community he proudly serves. #EmployeeExcellence #service

During National Police Week, members of our Honor Guard traveled to Washington, D.C. to stand alongside law enforcement agencies from across the nation in honoring fallen heroes.

National Police Week is not just about the badge. It is about the lives behind it and the ones we have lost in service to others. 💙
