**SCAM ALERT** For the past few days, it has been reported that citizens are receiving phone calls from scammers, who are yet again using the real names of actual Polk County Sheriff's Office Deputies and Detectives, as well as the names of our Sheriff, Chief Deputy, Captain and Lieutenants, to threaten citizens with arrest for either not paying a fine or failing to appear for jury duty, etc.. or that an arrest warrant would be issued. The scammers will then attempt to obtain money from you, over the phone, by demanding payment in the form of certain gift cards.
The scammers are using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to falsify the information that shows up on your caller ID. This means that scammers can manipulate caller ID information to make it look like they are calling from a local number, the Sheriff's Office, or from any neighbor or legitimate local business. They are even able to call you, using your own number, as the same exact number they are calling from. This type of Caller ID spoofing allows scammers to use the telephone numbers of innocent people in order to avoid block lists, as well as target and trick victims into sharing personal information or money.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office does not and will not ever contact citizens over the phone to collect financial information. If you encounter a scam call like this, DO NOT give personal/financial information or send money and immediately hang up. You may always contact the Sheriff’s Office to validate any information you may perceive to be a scam.
MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING IN MOTORCYCLE CRASHES IN TEXAS
May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, LUFKIN, May 2, 2023 - As motorcycle fatalities continue to rise and the spring weather draws more riders to Texas roadways, TxDOT is urging drivers to look twice and be considerate on the road around motorcycle riders.
Amy Jo Miller was enjoying a ride on the back of her boyfriend’s motorcycle in Bell County when an inattentive driver turned left in front of them, hitting the bike and throwing her across the road. Seconds later, another vehicle then ran her over in a hit-and-run crash, leaving her with multiple serious injuries. Fortunately, she survived, but 15 years later, Amy Jo is still recovering from her injuries.
Amy Jo, now 49, is just one of thousands of Texas motorcyclists seriously injured—or worse, killed—in crashes every year. In 2022, 562 motorcycle riders were killed in motor vehicle crashes, an 8% increase over the previous year.
“People on motorcycles are more vulnerable on our roadways,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams. “It’s important for drivers to pay extra attention and look out for motorcycles — especially at intersections, when turning in front of oncoming traffic and while changing lanes. We all want to get home safe.”
In addition to National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, TxDOT’s annual safety campaign “Share the Road: Look Twice for Motorcycles” also aims to protect motorcyclists by educating drivers on how to safely share the road. Below are safety precautions all motorists should keep in mind to help prevent motorcycle crashes:
Stay alert. Give driving your full attention. Even a momentary distraction, such as answering a phone call or changing the radio station, can have deadly consequences.
Pay special attention at intersections. One-third of all motorcycle fatalities happen at roadway intersections.
Take extra care when making a left turn. Always assume motorcycles are closer than they appear and avoid turning in front of an oncoming motorcycle.
Look twice when changing lanes. Check mirrors, check blind spots, and always use turn signals.
Give motorcyclists room when passing them. Move over to the passing lane and don’t crowd the motorcyclist’s full lane.
Stay back. If you’re behind a motorcycle, always maintain a safe following distance. When a motorcyclist downshifts, it can catch drivers off guard since there are no brake lights to signal reduced speed.
Slow down. Obey posted speed limits and drive according to conditions.
To help drivers fully understand the importance of driving safely and the dangers motorcycle riders face, TxDOT is taking its “Share the Road: Look Twice for Motorcycles” campaign exhibit on the road during National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The exhibit will feature a virtual reality component that gives participants the opportunity to experience high-risk traffic situations from the perspective of both a driver and a motorcyclist.
TxDOT’s “Share the Road: Look Twice for Motorcycles” campaign is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a broader social media and word-of-mouth effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while behind the wheel to help end the streak of daily deaths. Nov. 7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roadways.
On April 27, 2023 a Theft of Property was reported to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office that occurred in Midway, East Polk County. The suspect involved, an adult white male driving an older model dark colored ford pickup. If you have any information in reference to this case that may help with the investigation, please contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and speak with a Detective, at (936) 327-6810. You may also submit an anonymous tip at p3tips.com, the P3 App or call Polk County Crime Stoppers at 936-327-STOP, where you can remain anonymous and may collect a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.

Logging Truck Turns Over, MOSCOW, May 1, 2023 - Shortly before 8 am on May 1, 2023, an 18 wheeler logging truck that was south-bound on US-59 in Moscow had a load shift. According to a Trooper at the scene, the poles that keep the logs in place were not properly anchored causing the load to shift, thus turning over the 18 wheeler (just south of FM-350 Moscow). Corporal Ramey Bass with the Texas Highway Patrol was dispatched to investigate and was assisted by a Deputy from the Polk County Sheriff's Office and The Texas Department of Transportation. Additionally, an regional State Trooper (Trooper Riggins) assisted Corporal Bass. Fortunately there were no injuries. The driver was cited for the safety violation. Traffic on the north-bound side of 59 was routed to the right shoulder. A heavy-duty wrecker crew from Dues was summoned to clean up the mess.

Hawkins introduced a new LHS program funded by a Texas Education Agency grant, Pathways in Technology Early College High School (PTECH). Fourteen different pathways are offered, with health science having the largest enrollment. "A council has been created to help connect students to industry. This helps our students have a pipeline that leads to the workplace." LHS senior Trey Martin shared information about the certifications he has earned in welding. Martin was part of the welding build-off team that won 1st place on a fire pit project in March. The team won scholarships, new welding hoods, and welding certifications.
