Message from the Sheriff

Sheriff Rod Coffman
Lea County is growing and changing rapidly. Probably more so than any other time in our history. Not only is our economy becoming more diversified, but so are our people. It is truly an exciting time to live and work in Lea County. However, with growth, there are growing pains. There will be new and increasing challenges to law enforcement.


Technology and opportunity have created crimes that have never been seen before. New industries in our communities will require special security needs. It is my commitment to work diligently to ensure that the Lea County Sheriff’s Department is prepared to meet these challenges. My ongoing and long-term goal is to provide the most professional, pro-active, well trained agency anywhere.

Working together, we can make a difference!

Sincerely,

Rod Coffman
