Christmas 2024

No matter how you celebrate the holidays, we hope it centers around sharing time, gifts, food, and love with family, friends, and coworkers.

I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and express my gratitude to our outstanding staff at the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department for everything you do for our office and community. I want to thank everyone for your dedication and encourage the members of our community to do the same when you see them. I believe it is essential to show our appreciation to those who have been vital to our organization's success.

I would also like to thank our community for all your support and in helping make our area a safer place to live and raise a family.

If you plan to be away from home this holiday season, please use caution when traveling. The following are good reminders as you prepare to travel:

• Always wear a seat belt.
• Do not drink and drive.
• Do not use cell phones or other devices while driving.
• Know local traffic laws before you get behind the wheel.
• If traveling with children, use the appropriate car and booster seats.

Enjoy your holiday season in safety and happiness.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
