Join us in congratulating Sheriff Cliff Harrold, who was recently honored by the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association as Sheriff of the Year! According to the OSSA award, "This sheriff has devoted his life to serving his community, beginning his law enforcement journey as a cadet while still in high school. Demonstrating early commitment, he convinced his high school to allow him a work-study program to gain hands-on experience. He later worked as a 911 dispatcher, all while volunteering as a cadet and attending Community College with a focus on criminal justice. In 1995, on his 21st birthday, he was hired as a Deputy Sheriff. Throughout his nearly 30-year career, he has served in numerous roles, including Corrections, Patrol, SWAT, Drug Recognition Expert, and Traffic Safety Team Member. He advanced through the ranks, serving as Patrol Sergeant, SWAT Commander, Patrol Lieutenant, and Corrections Captain before being appointed Sheriff in 2019. He was elected to the position of sheriff in 2020. Facing a significant budget deficit, he worked tirelessly to secure the renewal of the county’s public safety levy, which funds 70% of the County Jail’s operations. Over several weeks, he held over 40 town hall meetings, explaining the importance of the levy to residents across the county. His dedication and clear communication helped secure nearly 80% voter approval, the highest in the levy’s history. He has made staff wellness a central focus of his leadership. He created the Health and Wellness Center which provides resources for the physical, mental, financial, and spiritual well-being of his staff. Additionally, he has supported alternative work schedules, such as a 4-10 shift for the Corrections Division, reducing overtime and sick leave while allowing more training and wellness opportunities. Known for his personal connection with his team, he prioritizes a family-like atmosphere at his office. His leadership has strengthened relationships with county leaders, secured funding for additional deputies, and ensured that the Lane County Sheriff’s Office continues to provide exceptional public safety to the community. Sheriff Harrold was recognized along with Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel. “I am truly humbled,” said Sheriff Harrold, “and know that I am only one among many who endeavor to serve this community with dedication and commitment. Thank you for making it such a privilege to be your Sheriff.” (Pictured with wife Becky Harrold) #honoredtoserve #sworntoprotect #committedtojusticeandintegrity
