Additional Information:

LCSO had a relatively quiet Christmas and New Year's Holiday.  We assisted other agencies with calls for service, helped some motorists and people in need, and continued with investigations.

It has been a busy time administratively as we have submitted our 2024 budget proposals.

Currently the LCSO has 39 people in custody.
