The Exhibit will include tours of a Sheriff’s Office patrol car, Marine Patrol boat, and Jail transport van. Visitors will also see a Sheriff’s Office patrol bicycle, Jail restraint chair, and the equipment used by sheriff deputies in their daily duties. Patrol deputies and Sheriff’s Office staff will be at the booth to help answer questions and to help you learn more about your Lincoln County Sheriff's Office.

Your Lincoln County Sheriff's Office is excited for this opportunity of information exchange and interaction with those we are sworn to protect and serve. We hope you can find time to come see us at the Lincoln County Fair this July 18th through July 20th.
