Shield-a-Badge is a program being looked after by the Chaplain of the Sheriff''s Office, Brian Williams. The program provides spiritual assistance for each officer in the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. This program will require more than 100 people to participate (one for each officer, full-time and reserve). The pray-er after submitting the form will receive the name and birthday of the officer for whom he/she will pray. The pray-er will be able to contact that officer only through mail delivered to the Sheriff's Office. The officer will have access to the pray-er's telephone number to make specific prayer requests, if they desire. This limitation is for privacy reasons. The pray-ers are asked to pray for the officer for one year and can then rotate names if they desire. If an officer relocates or leaves the force the pray-er will be assigned a new officer as soon as possible.
If you are interested in becoming a pray-er and helping to shield a badge, please fill out the form below and you will be assigned your officer as soon as possible. You can also print the form out and mail it to the Sheriff's Office at:

COMMUNITY AWARENESS Property crime continues to be a problem in the county. Secure lawn and garden equipment in locked areas and don't leave them in your yards or carports. As a deterrent to crime, lighting is a good security measure to take. Install adequate lighting on your property especially around buildings and vehicles. Join or start a local Neighborhood Watch program and if there is not one in your neighborhood, consider starting one. Contact the Sheriff's Office at (704) 732-9050 for more information about Neighborhood Watches.
