for all residents of Lea County. These goals can only be accomplished
through accountability, involvement in the community and working closely

currently facing.
My Commitment
Lea County is growing and changing rapidly. Probably more so than any
other time in our history. Not only is our economy is 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 provide the most professional, pro-active, well trained agency
anywhere.
Working together, we can make a difference!
Sincerely,
Rod Coffman ,
Lea County Sheriff |
