🇺🇸 LABOR DAY SAFETY MESSAGE FROM SHERIFF BRYANT “WALLY” JONES

As we prepare to celebrate Labor Day Weekend, I want to wish all of the citizens of Pike County a safe, enjoyable, and blessed holiday.

Labor Day is a time to enjoy family, friends, fellowship, travel, outdoor activities, and the final days of summer. But while you celebrate, please remember that safety must come first.

If you are traveling, slow down, buckle your seat belt, stay alert, and never drive impaired. If you plan to consume alcohol or use any substance that may impair you, make arrangements for a sober driver and never get behind the wheel. Impaired driving is preventable, and one bad decision can change a life forever.

For those enjoying our lakes, rivers, pools, and other outdoor activities, please use good judgment, watch your children closely, wear the appropriate safety equipment, and never operate a boat or recreational vehicle while impaired.

I also encourage everyone to look out for one another. If you see something that could put someone in danger, say something and make the responsible choice. If you encounter an impaired driver or an emergency, call 911.

The men and women of the Pike County Sheriff’s Office will be working throughout the holiday weekend to help keep our citizens and visitors safe.

From my family to yours, have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend. Enjoy yourselves, make memories, and most importantly—make it home safely.

🇺🇸 Be Safe. Be Responsible. Look Out for One Another.

Sheriff Bryant “Wally” Jones
