This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, and we want to recognize the men and women who serve as the critical link between those in need and those who respond.
In moments of chaos, fear, and uncertainty, they are the calm. They gather life-saving information, coordinate complex incidents, and guide both callers and first responders through situations where every second matters.
Their work may never be seen by the public, but it is felt in every response, every life saved, and every family that gets help when they need it most.
Join us in recognizing and celebrating these heroes this week, and take a moment to appreciate the professionals who are always there when Greene County calls.

The Sheriff’s Office has had a busy stretch—between last night’s banquet and responding to several motor vehicle accidents today—but we were glad to make time for Career Day at William Monroe High School. It was a great experience connecting with so many students, answering questions, and even catching up with some familiar faces. Definitely a blast!

Mountain roads can get especially tricky during emergencies, and closures like that usually mean responders need full access.

Traffic Stop Leads to Drug Arrest
On March 19th 2026, deputies conducted a traffic stop in the South River/Madison Road area on a vehicle displaying a fictitious license plate.
The driver, Jessica Medeiros, was found to be driving on a suspended license and had no valid vehicle registration. K9 Banga alerted to the vehicle, and a search revealed Schedule II pills without a valid prescription.
Medeiros was taken into custody. A search of her purse also located two crack pipes and a bag containing a white powdery residue.
She was charged with driving on a suspended license and possession of Schedule I/II narcotics, and issued summonses for fictitious plates and failure to register. She is being held on a $3,000 secured bond.
We appreciate the kindness of Agape Family Ministries in thinking of us and donating pizza for lunch.

We here at the Greene County Sheriff’s Office would like to give a very special thank you to the United Christian School middle school class, teacher Kala Bragg, and her two wonderful daughters, Faith and Ava, for their generous donation to our K9 Division.
K9 Banga and Deputy Bonner greatly appreciate all of the canine supplies that were gathered and donated today. Your kindness and support mean a great deal to us and help ensure our K9 team has the resources they need to continue serving and protecting our community.
Thank you again for thinking of our office and supporting our K9 program! 🐾🚓
On March 4, 2026, at approximately 5:52 a.m., a Deputy was conducting stationary radar enforcement in the area of Spotswood Trail and Blue Run Road. A vehicle was observed traveling at 125 mph in a clearly marked 55 mph zone.
Upon making contact with the driver, he stated that he was traveling approximately 65 mph. The Deputy issued the driver a summons for Reckless Driving.
The individual is scheduled to appear in court in early May of this year. Based on the severity of the speed, incarceration is a likely outcome.
Speeds such as this have no place on our roadways. There are no excuses for this type of behavior.
Road Update:
Route 33 across the mountain is currently clear. However, please remain cautious and watch for possible slick spots on the roadway. Travel safely.
‼️Route 33 has been reopened. All accidents and stranded vehicles have been cleared‼️
Please refrain from traveling this area if possible. Road conditions remain hazardous and slippery.
