Supporting Virginia’s Sheriffs & Deputies

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has recently received support from Keller Williams Realty and Strong Tower Ministries. The FCSO is so appreciative for the abundance of support during these difficult times, and would like to share pictures and details of the generosity they have received. Also, members of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office led a drive-by past the home of 13-year-old Brianne Witcher in honor of her birthday.

Keller Williams Realty Donates to Sheriff’s Office

Keller Williams Realty, located in Westlake, donated comfort stuffed animals to be used when Franklin County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrive at situations where a child needs emotional assistance.

Keller Williams Realty also gifted other law enforcement and public safety agencies as a part of their REDDAY campaign on Thursday, May 14th. Their agents held a food collection drive for community food pantries. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank Keller Williams Realty for their kind gift that will help deputies to handle sensitive issues on some of their calls.

Protecting Your Vehicle and Personal Property

The Office of the Sheriff wants to remind everyone to be proactive in deterring vehicle break-ins and loss of personal property from their vehicles. As the warmer weather is upon us, the additional vehicle traffic and outside activities have picked up. Families are enjoying time at local parks, walking around town, and various other activities.

Whenever you leave your vehicle, remember to (1) Lock your car doors with the windows up, (2) Remove or hide valuables, (3) Park in a well-lit and visible area, and (4) Invest in an anti-theft system. Following these suggestions may decrease your chances of vehicle break-ins!
