Dear Citizens of Pike County,

Due to the projected inclement and extremely cold weather, I ask that everyone remain safe and exercise caution over the next several days.

My team and I are here to serve you in any way we can; however, we respectfully ask that you limit travel as much as possible. Unnecessary travel increases the risk of accidents and could place our men and women in harm’s way while responding to avoidable situations.

As your Sheriff, your safety is my number one priority.

Please stay safe and look out for one another.

Sincerely,
Sheriff Bryant “Wally” Jones
