MESSAGE FROM PIKE CO SHERIFF JIMMY THOMAS

"We have dealt with communicable diseases for years and we are taking necessary precautions as with any other communicable disease. The jail medical staff are taking necessary precautions such as screening of new inmates and continuous preventative disinfecting measures. Protocols are in place should an employee or inmate be diagnosed by a medical professional as having a communicable disease," said sheriff Jimmy Thomas. 

This virus is not an excuse for lawlessness. During these difficult times, panic is not a solution. Prayer for this great nation is what can guide us. I want to thank all law enforcement, emergency services personnel and health care professionals both locally and across our nation for their dedication and willingness to serve under these difficult circumstances. Together we will overcome these obstacles and continue to protect and serve
