Most recently here at the sheriff’s office we have been enjoying the warm weather with a little increase in calls for service.  Scams seem to be going on all the time, and the most recent one was with a victim who received a phone call from someone claiming to be with Medicare.  The suspect asked the victim for her bank account numbers for a new Medicare card that was coming out and stated it was required by law.  The victim did not give the personal information out but this indeed was a scam.  There are hundreds of scams going around either by mail, email, or telephone.  Criminals will do about anything to gain access to your credit cards or personal information.  If you are suspicious about it, I would recommend not doing it.

Just a reminder with spring approaching there may be some “Black Ice” forming in the mornings on the roadways and sidewalks.  I just went out to my woodstove this morning and fell on some and sprained my ankle.  It didn’t look that icy where I was walking.  Black ice is transparent and hard to see.  Please use caution and slow down while driving if you think it may be slippery.

CLAYTON COUNTY SHERIFF PROUD OF QUALITY, COST EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR DETAINEES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER

This month in “What’s New in County 22” I thought I would inform everyone on our health care services for inmates.  I am committed to providing quality health care services for the inmates of the Clayton County Law Enforcement Center. That’s why I am proud of the healthcare program I put in place two years ago for the inmates with its focus on raising the standard of inmate care while containing costs, despite an economy where expenses keep increasing. Prior to this program the sheriff’s office had to pay for any sick inmates that were not covered by insurance because they were in our care.  With its current program, the jail has cut costs for its medical program by more than half compared to what we were previously spending, saving nearly $30,000.

Thanks to the mild winter we have been having, knock on wood, things have been slower than normal this time of year at the sheriff’s office.  I guess I shouldn’t say slower, just slower in the traffic accident department.  I’m sure winter is still coming and will probably come all at once so please drive safely.
