WHAT’S NEW AT THE LAWRENCE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE?
Newly elected Sheriff Chuck Jackson has now been in office for four months.
Here’s some of what’s happening:
- There are now five full time and one reserve deputy serving the county. The five full time deputies are Mason Keefer, Dwayne Bowen, Mike Housinger, Cory Cook and Chase Kirk.
- There are two full time and two part time Court Security Deputies (with two more in the hiring process).
- The Sheriff’s office is one of the members of the newly formed D.I.C.E. (Drug Interdiction Co-Op Enforcement) unit.
- The Sheriff’s Office has a new facebook page with the LCSO website to be up and running soon.
- Within the next few weeks the Sheriff’s Office will also be adding a K-9 unit to serve along with the deputies.
Sheriff Jackson will also be introducing to the county in a few weeks his Sheriff’s Community Impact Program. More information coming on this new program in coming weeks.
Way to go MR Jackson u have made us all proud!!
Hopefully they will continue to bust all these drug dealers. And the judge needs to be more strict on meth charges. đź’Ż Anymore all these people that are catching drug charges is for meth. – this town is so ate up with it, it’s not even funny. It’s very sad and disturbing. I hope they continue to get all these people that’s dealing the meth. I hope the ones that are still putting it in their body get the help they need. It’s all around us, every where you go. You just never know, and for a parent it scares me.
Honestly can’t wait to see what else this new sheriff is gonna do. He seems to being done well.
I still think Mark would have done a lot for LC. I know he will be doing big things at BC.
Meth is taken over and it’s sad!
Wonder who the reserve deputy is? Reserve deputies are a good way to get the county sued. Heard new sheriff wanted to use a lot of reserve deputies like other counties have….just doesn’t make sense and lawsuit waiting to happen. Can’t wait to see who the new court security people are….hear they are his way of following through with political promises for support. Sheriff’s Department might be a member of the dice but the police department is doing the majority of the work. As for the K9 be interesting to see if it is the one promised or a different one…either way doesn’t make sense that it has taken over 4 months to get it on the street considering it was ready to go back in September. Love the picture…represents the mentality of the department now.
By reading your comments Jim B, you do a lot of eluding to you “heard” this and that. I’m always suspect when I hear or read someone saying they “heard” things. Most of the time it’s used as a by product to cover up for the way one feels and doesn’t wanna throw that out there, so it’s easier to say “I heard” or “someone told me”. What it comes down to is it seems like your aggravated bc u didn’t vote for Chuck so you wanna try to cast stones in his direction. Well suck it up buttercup. He is the new sheriff in town. Either accept it and back him in the good that he is already doing, or sit back and bitch and moan and make urself miserable and yet it changes nothing.
Not miserable in the least!! Didn’t vote for him and never will…..seen to much dirty things from his supporter and camp. Your right doesn’t change anything just like doesn’t change the fact several people spread lies and he set back and let it happen. Speaks volumes of some one’s character. Can’t wait for next election because think it will be a case of one and done.
Jim b
Sounds like someone is sore that there Pick for sheriff didn’t win maybe you options would matter more if you wasn’t so biased on the matter oh well
Best of luck for you
As for the reserve deputies, if it works for other county’s than they are doing something right why not follow there exsample and suing come on people sue for everything almost always wanting to hit big payday like county so if it’ll happen it’ll happen regardless
I’d be more concerned with fixing the roads they are horrible then worrying yourself with something as trivia as county getting sued
And for the dog who cares if it’s same or not it is adding an asset either way for the county to help curb the drug epadimic
Now the dice program makes it to where all agency’s have a hand in busting it’s not all just one department going the work it’s all
Sheriff Jackson is doing a good job. Quit being so petty
HAHa…Reckon he was really petty end of last year and the way he done people!!! He is just riding shirt tails.
Title is misleading..
1 — There had been at least 5 full time deputies for YEARS until one up and left in July, then the new Sheriff didn’t keep the most experienced deputy whether it was to keep promises or didn’t want to be shown up.
2 — Been the same Court Security Officers there for YEARS and everything seemed to run fine.
3 — Not doing anything more than was getting done with last administration and deputies. Probably department wise getting less done….at least out of the 2 deputies he kept. Just put fancy name on it to draw attention.
4 — Sheriffs Office had a Facebook and website for YEARS…nothing new.
5 — Sheriffs Office had a K9 in the past and didn’t get much out of it under the current sheriff’s time as handler.
Actually not much new going on except I guess now trying to do stuff for attention. Sheriff should have been doing stuff when he was a deputy. Feel scared for LC because think they have been fooled into getting a buddy not someone who will enforce the law.
Grow up stop playing politics! The election is over and the people have spoken loud and clear! Chuck didn’t fire or let anyone go. It was a choice that was made by the officer who left. I read his post and no where did it say he had no choice but to leave or was fired! It actually said that God was leading him in a different direction. So either it was God as he said or he was lying. It can’t be both! I believe he is a good person and it was a loss to the community but it wasn’t because of Chuck! When I see people being bitter about the sheriff I have to wonder how much trouble you have been in to have such ill feelings toward him! Perhaps not, but it makes you look shady! We can all find fault in everything and everyone if we look hard enough! Try focusing on what he has done and what he is planning to do to improve the place we call home! Give him a chance to show what he can and will do!. Don’t listen to what you heard and repeat it for truth! Know for yourself what you know!
Well evidently you didn’t read the other post relating to the new administration not keeping him or did you just conveniently over look it. Also if you read his post correctly it says “God has other plans for me” not leading him in different direction. Sometimes God’s plan just might involve things not happening the way a person would like and involve someone else controlling that direction. In this case clearly out of spite. Made no sense to get rid of the two most experienced people if not for spite and/or to follow through for help received. Follower not a leader!! Not been in any trouble just was extremely disappointed in the way him and several of his people handled themselves. So what has he done so far that was any different or more than was done before?
Well said Fallsburg Citizen!
I couldn’t agree with you more. 👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff on this so called sheriff never would I repeat it but it’s sad to even call him the sheriff. I hate to even say his name.
I guess that’s why I never got into politics.
This is nothing new people.
What exactly has chuck done that is new? – 🤔
Come on next election vote him out. 👊🏻 Mark made the best choice to leave. It just sucks to know he’s not working for Lawrence County. Kills my soul that he didn’t win.
The headline should be new sheriff BUT no new changes. Haha
