🇺🇸 A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS

September 22, 2026

Sheriff Bryant “Wally” Jones and the Pike County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend our sincere appreciation to every law enforcement agency, fire department, emergency responder, and supporting agency that graciously participated in and supported last week’s Active Shooter/Intruder Training Drill at Osyka Elementary School.

This important training exercise was about one thing: PREPARATION.
Our children, teachers, school employees, and communities deserve first responders who are prepared to respond quickly, effectively, and together when faced with an emergency.

We are especially grateful for the agencies that took time away from their daily responsibilities to come together, train together, communicate together, and strengthen our ability to respond as ONE TEAM.

Your participation, professionalism, dedication, and willingness to work alongside the Pike County Sheriff’s Office are deeply appreciated.

When agencies work together, our communities are stronger and better prepared.

To every officer, deputy, firefighter, emergency responder, dispatcher, school official, and support personnel who helped make this training exercise possible:

THANK YOU for answering the call and for your continued commitment to protecting and serving the people of Pike County.
We also thank the Town of Osyka, Osyka Elementary School, school personnel, students, parents, and the community for their cooperation and understanding during this important training exercise.

Preparation saves lives. Teamwork strengthens communities.

With sincere appreciation,
Sheriff Bryant “Wally” Jones
Pike County Sheriff’s Office

🇺🇸 Together, We Train. Together, We Prepare. Together, We Protect.
