We will NEVER ask for money by phone, text, or email. We will NEVER call you about missed jury duty. Our community continues to be targeted by phone scammers identifying themselves as employees of the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, typically claiming to be sergeants. Scammers have in the past also used text and email. Scammers claim there are warrants, missed jury duty, or unsettled legal issues. They may also offer to take bail money so family members in our jail may be released. Scammers then ask for payment or personal information, often threatening arrest. They usually offer to take payment digitally, through cryptocurrency, phone apps, or at a kiosk. In some instances, the scammers appear to call from official phone numbers or provide fraudulent callback numbers with official-sounding voicemail inboxes. They often already have some personal information based on the phone number they called. If you are contacted by someone claiming to be a Lane County Sheriff's Office employee and you think you are being scammed, HANG UP. Then contact our dispatch center at 541-682-4150 opt. 1. Please share with your friends and family. This scam has been around for years, and people are still falling for it despite efforts by all local law enforcement to educate the public.

🐾🚓 After 8 years of service, it’s time to hang up the leash🚓🐾 Last week, one of our incredible K9 fur missiles retired after 8 years of dedicated service. K9 Hektor, one of our patrol apprehension canines, has served our community with unmatched courage, loyalty, and heart. From daily patrol shifts to high-risk deployments with our Special Response Team, he was always ready — focused, fearless, and committed to protecting his handler and catching the bad guys. With more than 200 deployments over the course of his career, Hektor’s impact on our county’s safety is nothing short of extraordinary. Behind every successful mission was a powerful partnership built on trust and training. His drive and unwavering bravery helped bring dangerous situations to safe conclusions time and time again. Now, at almost 10 years old, it’s time for him to trade in long shifts and call-outs for belly rubs, naps in the sun, and well-earned relaxation. We hear he may even finally be let up on the couch. Hektor, thank you for your service. Enjoy retirement — you’ve more than earned it. 🐕💙Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post
