Dangers of Driving Through Water The Pierce County Sheriff's Office, along with Fire crews, County employees, and the Department of Emergency Management, are working to keep people safe by closing down roads that are too dangerous to drive over. Please do not attempt to drive over large bodies of water. It only takes about 12 inches of water to float your vehicle away, and we sadly get many drowning accidents due to cars submerged in water. Please take all road closures and evacuations seriously

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a series of armed robberies believed to involve children, possibly young teens. Find more details at the link in our comments. | KIRO 7 News

The Pierce County Search and Rescue Team went to Thun Field in South Hill to get familiarized with our airplanes so they will be prepared to work together on a real mission. With perfect hiking weather on its way, the rural areas of the county will see more hikers and tourists who may not be familiar with the terrain. When someone gets lost in our woods or on our mountain, you can count on Search and Rescue and the Air Operations Unit to be there to help find them. #searchandrescue #airops | Pie
