***TRAFFIC ALERT*** Tractor trailer has broken down on Sanford Rd @ Pittsboro Elementary School Rd. Traffic is flowing but please reduce speed and use caution in the area. Kevin is not a mechanic, so we're here until the tow truck gets here. --OD #Pittsboro #TrafficAlert

Follow us on facebook.com/pittsboropolice to see Kevin's tips for dealing with severe weather.

After minutes of careful study, I have determined that Kevin is useless at making weather predictions. Punxsutawney Phil, however, said that we're going to have an early Spring. Check out @NWS to see what they said about Phil! -- OD #Pittsboro

***TRAFFIC ALERT*** Moncure-Pittsboro Rd is closed to all eastbound (outbound from Pittsboro) traffic between Sanford Rd/NC87 and Charlie Brooks Rd. #Pittsboro #Traffic #TrafficAlert

Verizon services down in our area right now. If you need to call 911 and cannot get thru, you can text 911 here. If you are at a location with a WiFi network available, you can also use WiFi calling and texting. We don't know when it'll be back up as none of us work for Verizon.

Please see the attached press release in reference to an incident that occurred at the traffic circle in downtown Pittsboro on 01/16/2020. #Pittsboro

Excellent advice from Pittsboro Fire-Rescue Department. We like meeting you, but we don't like meeting you on structure fire calls. Also, everything I wear is flammable, so I will just be directing traffic there. -- OD

Google didn't have correct information on the phase of the moon today, so I fixed it. Just because it's a full moon today doesn't mean we all have to act like it! -- OD

***TRAFFIC ALERT*** West St/US 64 Bus W down to 1 lane in front of the Sheriff's Office. Traffic still flowing in both directions, westbound traffic using the turn lane. Please use caution in the area and refer to the Town of Pittsboro's Facebook page for updates. #Pittsboro

The Pittsboro Holiday parade is today! We'll be shutting down the streets in about 30 minutes; detour map attached. If you are traveling from Sanford to Chapel Hill of vice versa, please use NC 87 --> US 64 Bypass --> US 15-501 to avoid traffic downtown. #Pittsboro #ChathamNC
