McGruff The Crime Dog® Program
McGruff the Crime Dog® is a national icon that began in 1980. The mission of this successful advertising campaign has been to teach children and others that law enforcement cannot fight crime alone. We participate in this program by visiting local schools who request a visit from McGruff®. Our past sessions have been incredibly successful and, without a doubt, have strengthened our community’s fight against crime.
If you would like McGruff® to visit your school, please contact the Office of Sheriff at (859) 252-1771.
Books & Badges Program
The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Books & Badges Program, established in 2015, helps promote language and literacy development among preschool and elementary-aged children in Fayette County.
In response to the epidemic of children’s illiteracy, the Office of the Fayette County Sheriff has partnered with the Fayette County School System and Lexington daycare centers and launched Books & Badges. Books & Badges brings Fayette County Deputy Sheriffs into the classroom to read well-known children’s books with the class. After story time, the Deputy Sheriff gives each child their own book to take home to read with a parent, sibling, and/or grandparent. This opportunity to promote literacy development can inspire a child to make better choices – to choose learning and success in school and life, and to choose a brighter future.
Impact literacy in our community: donate new or gently used books to our Books & Badges program!
To coordinate your donation, please contact Scooter Stein at (859) 252-1771.

Project Lifeline Program
Helping Seniors and Victims with Emergency Mobile Phones
The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff collects donated mobile phones and chargers in order to redistribute them at no charge to elderly, victimized, and disabled citizens. The cellular telephones that are collected may not be “in service”, however, the 911 emergency dialing functions remain operable. This important service is a lifeline for seniors, victims, and disabled citizens in our community who may not be able to afford a regular mobile phone plan on their own. With one of these life-saving mobile phones in their possession, these citizens are able to dial 911 in an emergency situation at any time.
Donating Cell Phones
The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff collects used cell phones year round. When donating a mobile phone, the phone must be accompanied with the appropriate charger in order for the phone to operate. If you would like to donate one or more mobile telephones to this program, please contact the Domestic Violence Intake Center at (859) 252-1771. Also, you may drop off mobile phones with their accompanying charger at:
