Before you light that fuse, ask yourself: "𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗺𝗯 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲?"
If the answer is no, it's probably best to keep all ten fingers and move on.🎆

Keeping our roadways safe takes proactive enforcement and that’s exactly what our deputies accomplished during yesterday’s Wolfpack Operation targeting 4th Precinct.
During this traffic operation, deputies conducted:
𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐬
𝟖𝟖 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐝
𝟑𝟐 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬
𝟏 𝐃𝐔𝐈 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭
These operations aren’t just about writing tickets, they’re about preventing crashes, protecting lives, and encouraging safer driving habits throughout our community.
We urge you to slow down, stay alert, and help us keep Lee County’s roads safe.
👀 Thieves are looking for easy targets. Don`t be one. 🙅
Lock your doors.
Remove valuables.
Keep your keys.
Stay alert.

Bad guys take the L in Lee County, the Everblades take the Kelly Cup 😈🏆 Sheriff Marceno welcomed the team to Headquarters today to congratulate these guys on their hard work and well-deserved championship win!
A recent call for service pulled on the heartstrings of our 1st Precinct Crime Section Detectives. One of Benjamin’s favorite activities is riding his bike — so when detectives found out his bicycle was stolen from his residence, they knew they had to jump into action to replace it and ensure he had fresh wheels for the summer 🚲 ☀️. Detective Fischer even went above and beyond by getting a bike that was similar to the one stolen. We hope you enjoy your new ride, Benjamin!

What started as deputies searching a wooded area near NE 24th Ave. and Diplomat Pkwy. E. for a wanted subject quickly turned into a Bomb Squad callout.
While checking a transient campsite, deputies spotted several suspicious devices that appeared to be homemade explosives. The Lee County Sheriff`s Office Bomb Squad responded and safely secured the scene while detectives launched an investigation.
A search warrant later led to the recovery of seven explosive devices. Investigators discovered modified fireworks and a metal pipe device containing energetic powder. Several of the devices had been altered with paper clips, pellets, and BBs designed to act as fragmentation projectiles upon detonation.
During the investigation, 𝟐𝟏-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐲 admitted to constructing the devices and adding the projectiles. He claimed the devices were intended to scare away animals.
