Fairfield County Sheriff's Office (FCSO) Community Activities & Services
Crime Watch: Crime Watch meetings keep neighborhoods and communities safer by informing attendees of crimes occurring in their area. Fairfield County COPs work with those in local communities and neighborhoods to establish crime watch meetings and coordinate obtaining crime watch signs. community.
Kids Camp: The FCSO's annual Kids’ Camp is held in June and is a week-long adventure for children ages 8-13. Attendees participate in different activities that help them learn about different law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Public Safety, SLED, and more. Speakers from these emergency services agencies share about their duties and teach the kids about their various roles and functions in our community.
Home Alone Program: The FCSO's Home Alone program falls under our Community Oriented Policing Program. When someone in our county is living alone and has no family close by to check on them, we add them to our list and check on them periodically to make sure they’re safe and able to take care of themselves.
Project Lifesaver: The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children who wander due to Alzheimer’s, autism, or other related conditions or disorders.
The task of searching for wandering or lost individuals is a growing and serious responsibility. Without effective procedures and equipment, searches can involve multiple agencies, hundreds of officers, countless hours, and thousands of dollars. More importantly, because time is of the essence, every minute lost increases the risk of a tragic outcome.
