Sherriff’s Office will not solicit donations on the phone

You can rest assured, says the sheriff of Oconee County, the office will never solicit donations over the telephone.  “A citizen reported to our office….that someone called their phone number in regard to the purchase of some essential materials,” says Sheriff Mike Crenshaw.  “This is a scam. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office will not solicit donations over the phone.  The best way,” he says, “to support the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is by making a donation to the Oconee Sheriff’s Foundation.” You can learn more about making a tax-exempt donation to the foundation by contacting the Sheriff’s Office directly at 864/638-4117.
