Sheriff’s PSA: Nosy Nelly Syndrome

We’ve noticed a trend: a gaggle of y’all just have to go see what’s going on whenever we post about public safety events, traffic advisories, or, honestly, anything at all. 🚓🚁 Much love to all of our fans and followers.  We appreciate all of you, but dang if some of y'all are just a tad bit extra.  

Blue lights? Helicopter? “Better grab my binoculars!” 👀 Hear sirens in the distance or the scanner light up with all kinds of radio traffic? “Brenda, put your bra on, we’ve got action to go check out!” A road is washed out—we advised, don’t go down it. Next thing you know, you’re stuck in a ditch, and we’re both waiting on a wrecker to pull you and us out. Or, the road’s closed for construction. “Let’s go see what they’re building!” Five minutes later, you’re getting an up-close-and-personal view of the culvert they just dug out.

One day, we might just post a fake advisory, sit back, and watch y’all scramble… only to find yourselves on a good ol’ snipe hunt. 🕵️‍♂️🎯 Don’t worry, there’ll be a prize—maybe a shiny “Traffic Cone MVP” sticker for your car. 

But don’t worry—we’ll always let you know what’s going on to the fullest extent possible. Unlike some of our less transparent comrades. Hey, they can’t be us, because, well… we’re us. 💪

For the record: our public safety advisories are NOT your personal invitation to grab the keys and go sightseeing. They’re there to protect you and our first responders. So stay home. Bake cookies. Watch Netflix. Build a pillow fort. Anything but put yourselves in harm’s way, and potentially create more hazards and victims for our first responders.
