Community is a special part of the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department’s mission to serve. Law enforcement officers and their families work tirelessly to keep the community safe. In recognition of their hard work and dedication, a number of local churches and businesses have teamed up to host an annual event called Take a Kid Fishing Day.
A day of fun for law enforcement and families
Take a Kid Fishing Day serves as a heartfelt “thank you” to law enforcement officers for their commitment and support to the community. This event is designed for officers and employees, along with their families and friends. It offers a much-needed break from the daily stresses of their demanding profession, providing a chance to enjoy the great outdoors while learning about fishing. All while enjoying some delicious food. Organized by the compassionate individuals within the Lexington County community, this event serves as a gesture of gratitude and support for their law enforcement heroes.
Hook, line and conservation: embracing catch and release for a thriving environment
While fishing is the central activity of the day, this event also promotes environmental awareness and enjoying the great outdoors. Most of the fish caught during the event are released back into the pond, emphasizing the importance of protecting and taking care of natural resources. It’s also an opportunity for law enforcement family members to enjoy the abundant natural resources across Lexington County.
Reeling in traditions: celebrating the second anniversary of Take a Kid Fishing Day
There is nothing more inspiring than community members coming together in support of one another. This year marks the second anniversary of Take a Kid Fishing day. A day to honor and celebrate the law enforcement officers of Lexington County. Providing an opportunity for officers and their families to enjoy a peaceful day of fun while giving back to those who protect and serve.
Fostering collaboration and safety: uniting law enforcement agencies in Lexington County
