At the recent Town Council meeting, Officer Pile was presented with the Life Saving Award for his heroic actions while off duty.
In April, Officer Pile responded to a serious motorcycle crash before EMS arrived. Drawing on his extensive training as both a United States Marine and a police officer, he provided critical medical aid - including the application of tourniquets - which helped save the life of Mr. Raymond Mitchell Jr., a fellow law enforcement officer from Wythe County Sheriff's Office.
Mr. Mitchell and his family were in attendance for the award presentation. During the ceremony, after receiving the Life Saving award, Officer Pile humbly said, "The thing that makes me the happiest is seeing Mr. Mitchell."
Officer Pile's swift and composed response in a critical moment reflects the highest standards of service and professionalism. We're proud to recognize his actions and are grateful for the positive outcome.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: Fake Invoice Emails Circulating 🚨
The Abingdon Police Department has been made aware of a scam involving fraudulent invoices being emailed to individuals and businesses, appearing to come from the Town of Abingdon.
Here are some important red flags to watch for:
📌 Emails coming from a ".com" address — Official emails from the Town will always come from @abingdon-va.gov, not .com addresses.
📌 Requests for wire transfers — The Town of Abingdon does not request wire transfers for payments.
If you receive a suspicious invoice or email, do not respond or send payment. Instead, contact the Town directly at (276) 628-3167 to verify its legitimacy, or call the Abingdon Police Department’s non-emergency number at (276) 628-3111.
Please help us spread the word and protect our community by sharing this post!
