Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Blog

This scholarship allows us to celebrate the achievements, ambition, and future successes of the recipient while remembering the legacy of Retired Sheriff John O’Brien.

Our Citizen Academy was 10 sessions of fun, engaging programs from our Sheriff’s Office team members. It was supposed to be 11 sessions, but mother-nature had other plans in January which prevented our participants from safely meeting; that week was combined with another to ensure our team could respond to the severe winter weather and to keep our participants off the road and safer at home. Below is a summary of what happened during the week 5 through week 10/11 of our academy. 

Lincoln County communities, as well as many communities throughout Oregon, were greatly impacted by severe winter weather in the beginning to middle of January. Over the course of that week, EOC team members and partners worked tirelessly to coordinate resources, establish shelters, obtain aid, and keep the latest information flowing to our communities.
