The Seminole County Sheriff's Office joins our brothers and sisters of @BrevardSheriff in mourning the tragic line of duty death of Homicide Agent Kevin Morris, who lost his life Sunday morning when his vehicle was struck by a wrong-way driver on I-95. Sheriff Lemma and our entire agency stands with you in grieving your profound loss and remembering the ultimate sacrifice of a dedicated public servant.
EVERY STEP MATTERS. EVERY LIFE MATTERS: October is Pedestrian Safety Month. Drivers, slow down and watch for people crossing, especially when turning or backing up. Pedestrians, use crosswalks when available and make sure drivers see you before stepping into the road. A few extra seconds of attention can help everyone get home safely.
First observed in October 1981 as a national “Day of Unity,” Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is held each October as a way to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. If you or anyone you know needs assistance call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

***Bitcoin Scam Alert***
We continue to receive reports from citizens contacted via phone and email by scammers posing as law enforcement. Victims are told they have an outstanding warrant or missed jury duty and now must pay a fine via Bitcoin, gift cards or bank transfer. Legitimate law enforcement agencies will never contact you in this way. If you receive this type of communication, ignore it!
