👋 MEET US MONDAY

Every Monday, we’re introducing you to the men and women who make up the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office.

We believe getting to know the people behind the badge helps build stronger connections between our office and the community we proudly serve.

Each week, we’ll ask one member of our LCSO team the same three questions:

📍 Where are you from?
⭐ What do you enjoy most about your job?
🤝 What is something you want the public to know about LCSO or Lafayette County?

Get to know the faces behind the badge and the people who work every day to Protect and Serve Lafayette County!

This is Meet Us Monday!

Today we introduce Deputy Catherine Stewart

📍 Where are you from? Columbus, MS but I’ve been calling Oxford home since graduating Ole Miss.

⭐ What do you enjoy most about your job? I love interacting with the community and being there to help people in their moments of crisis.

🤝 What is something you want the public to know about LCSO or Lafayette County? The core mindset of LCSO is strongly rooted in community policing and building stronger bonds with future generations.

Lafayette County Sheriff's Office — Community Safety Reminder

🔒 A few seconds now can save you a headache later. Take a moment tonight to:

✅ Lock your doors — front, back, and garage
✅ Check that windows are secured
✅ Lock your vehicle and take your keys/valuables inside
✅ Turn on porch or motion-sensor lighting
✅ Report anything suspicious — see something, say something

Most break-ins are crimes of opportunity. A locked door is still one of the best deterrents out there. Look out for your neighbors, and don't hesitate to call us if something doesn't feel right.

Stay safe, Lafayette County! 🚔

Sheriff's Spotlight: Harmontown Food Pantry

This month, Sheriff Joey East is proud to shine the Sheriff's Spotlight on Harmontown Food Pantry!

This donation-supported non-profit shows up for our neighbors month after month, distributing food boxes to citizens across Harmontown who need a little extra help. When the ice storm hit and left so many families without power, water, or easy access to supplies, Harmontown Food Pantry was right there with us — helping get food and essential supplies into the hands of the community when it mattered most.

Partnerships like this are what make Lafayette County strong. Thank you to everyone at Harmontown Food Pantry for your heart for this community and for standing with LCSO when our neighbors needed it most. 🙌

Want to support their mission? Donations are being accepted at LCSO for canned goods. Drop off non-perishables (specifically canned goods) and LCSO will get them to the Harmontown Food Pantry.

LCSO makes 2 arrests - 1 for Burglary & 1 for Breaking and Entering/Sexual Assault

09/11/2026

On September 11, 2001, 72 law enforcement officers made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty — the single greatest loss of law enforcement life in American history in a single day.

They ran into buildings others were running from. They answered the call knowing the risk. Today, on the 25th anniversary, we remember their courage and their sacrifice.

09/11/2026

Today we pause to remember the 2,977 lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001. We honor the first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and everyday heroes who ran toward danger to save others.

To the families who still carry this loss, and to those who serve and protect our communities every day — we remember, we honor, and we will never forget.

Sheriff Joey East would like to thank the Board of Supervisors (both past and present) for making this dream a reality. This building is here to help LCSO both Serve and Protect our county and everyone who lives here better.
