Join us and @hyannispublib at the @jfkhyannis museum for a discussion with Sheriff Donna Buckley about how we are making the community safer through programing for people inside our jail and through a continuum of services when they get out.

WE ARE THE BCSO 𝒞𝒶𝓈𝑒 𝑀𝒶𝓃𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝒲𝑒𝑒𝓀 This week we highlight the words of our case management team. They prepare individuals to leave incarceration with housing, healthcare, documents and a realistic plan for success. They fill the gaps, so people don't fall

NEW! Thursdays at 11 a.m., The Bridge Center Director Angelica Moore, an experienced former DCF social worker, investigator and supervisor, will lead this weekly group for parents who wish to learn more about navigating DCF involvement.

Nationally, about 80% of individuals released from prison in the U.S. each year have a chronic medical, substance use, or psychiatric condition. Successful re-entry begins in the weeks and months before someone is released.

We participated in The Cape and Islands United Way Day of Action, filling resource bags for the Herren Project along with volunteers from Granite City Electric Supply Company. The Day Action mobilizes volunteers to help an organization on Cape Cod. Every act of kindness adds up!

"Domestic violence, an insidious societal plague, doesn’t merely leave scars on its direct victims. It branches out, creating pathways that lead many of its survivors, as well as perpetrators, to incarceration." - (Domestic Violence.org) #domesticviolenceawareness

Wonderful time at the Bourne Police Department’s National Night Out. Our K-9 unit did demos and comfort dog Nix stuck around for the love! #nicpixs #NationalNightOut

WE ARE THE BCSO 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝒻𝒾𝓁𝑒 Programs Intern Alex Lane read the Pulitzer Prize winning “Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City” by Matthew Desmond while in college. He says personal accountability is necessary but social problems are factors in crime.

We hope this list is helpful. Tomorrow, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, there is a place in every Cape Cod town to gather and reflect on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It was a tragic day that we must never forget.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, remember that there many resources to call upon when you or someone you know feels hopeless or desperate. #PTSD #PublicSafety #mentalhealth #capecod

The third Skilled Purpose class began last night at the Bridge Center. This class of incarcerated men will learn carpentry over the next 12 weeks, and receive job placement assistance from the nonprofit Michael English House. The purpose is to create stability and rebuild lives!

The Community Work Crew is made up of incarcerated individuals who do jobs including carpentry, painting, landscaping, as well as event prep and clean up for government and nonprofit organizations. The work provides job experience while allowing the individuals to give back.

Tonight we shared tears, hugs, and condolences for the women and men lost to overdose. At overdose awareness events in Yarmouth and Falmouth we stood together with families to provide some light in their darkness.

Congratulations to Alex Dennery! He completed our Regional Emergency Communications Center's six-month telecommunications training program. Alex did a great job!

WE ARE THE BCSO: 𝐼𝓃𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃 𝒫𝓇𝑜𝒻𝒾𝓁𝑒 Every summer the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office college interns explore a variety of careers including law enforcement, and social work. Intern Alden Kangas is heading back to junior year at @BridgeStateU, cyber security major.

For International Overdose Awareness Month, The Bridge Center is lit purple. But inside The Bridge Center we fight overdoses year-round. EVERY WEDNESDAY - PIER Recovery Support Center provides guidance and support for those in early recovery.

There's a lot of prepare for before hitting re-entry road. 💲Bank accounts run dry while you are incarcerated. 🏠Sober homes and parole-approved housing isn't easy to find. 🚘Everything is hard to get to, if you don't have a driver's license due to court penalties, or a car.

Barnstable County Sheriff's Office staff helped place 128 purple flags representing 128 residents of Barnstable County who died of drug overdoses in 2024, the latest statistic available from the state Bureau of Substance Addiction Services. August is overdose awareness month.

Attention parents with a history of substance use disorder, come to The Bridge Center in Barnstable Village and meet the Duffy Health Center case manager who will help you be the best parent you can be!
