COMMUNITY COMMITTED, SERVICE ORIENTED

This page lists some of the programs that Sheriff Lippa brought to Caroline County.  The Sheriff's Office does not charge for any of these services. "Community Committed, Service Oriented" isn't just a catch phrase, it's the foundation upon which everything we do is based.

CHILD ID PROGRAM

Photo identification with fingerprints gives authorities vital information to help them locate a missing child. The Sheriff's Office periodically schedules events where you can get a FREE photo of your child and a set of his or her fingerprints using quick, clean, inkless technology. You may also arrange to bring your child to CCSO office for fingerprinting.

CHECK MATE

This innovative program is designed for those that live alone. After an application process, the Sheriff's Office will call the resident daily to check on their welfare. If phone contact cannot be made, a deputy will come by to check on the resident.

CHILD SEAT INSPECTIONS

Select deputies have been trained to assist you in proper use and installation of child safety seats. Federal surveys have shown that a majority of child seats are improperly used. Parents and caregivers are urged to verify that their child safety seats are properly installed and correctly used. Certified deputies will be available to inspect and verify - free of charge - your child seat installation. Let us check your safety seat today!

PROJECT LIFESAVER

Project Lifesaver is currently being used by over 1,150 agencies in 45 states. Nearly 2,300 people have been rescued using the Project Lifesaver program. Enrolled citizens wear a small transmitter on their wrist or ankle that emits a tracking signal unique to that unit. In the event that the citizen goes missing, the local Project Lifesaver Agency, along with a trained emergency team, respond to the wanderer's area. Instead of hours or days, wanderers are found in an average of 30 minutes. This is a tremendous resource for families dealing with Alzheimer's, autism and other related conditions or disorders.

Caroline County Sheriff's Office is a proud member of the Project Lifesaver program. This program has been established locally without any tax payer dollars. Individual and corporate donations have covered the startup cost associated with Project Lifesaver.

RIDE ALONG PROGRAM

This is your chance to ride along with a Deputy and get a behind the scenes look at law enforcement.  This program is restricted to county residents or business owners.

TRIAD PROGRAM

On January 20th, 2011, Caroline County Sheriff A.A. "Tony" Lippa, Jr. joined Attorney General of Virginia, Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, and the Caroline County Board of Supervisors in creating a local chapter of the TRIAD program.

"TRIAD is one of the fastest-growing crime prevention partnerships in the country.  It is a cooperative effort of law enforcement agencies (police/fire/sheriffs), senior citizens, and senior organizations, focused on reducing crimes against our most vulnerable citizens:  our seniors.  In 1988, the American Association of Retired Persons, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the National Sheriff’s Association realized that the baby boomers would soon be retiring and would be in need of protection from con artists and other criminals who would seek to separate them from their hard-earned savings. These three groups formed the first TRIAD in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, bringing together seniors and law enforcement in a cooperative effort to fight crime.  The TRIAD concept has since spread to 47 states, Canada, and England – and it arrived in Virginia in 1995."
