Behind the Bars: Insights from a newer Deputy I am Deputy Davidson from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division, with 2 years of service. My first months spent as a jail deputy were culturally shocking. Raised in a morally and ethically sound home, I hadn’t witnessed many of the behaviors that some adults in custody exhibit. People threatening others with death or violence. Some scream into the void with anger or lunacy. People hitting their heads and fists on anything just to make them bleed, and others boldly lying while looking you right in the eyes. Each instance requires a thoughtful, calculated, and appropriate response from deputies. I have witnessed people intentionally bash their heads and face into concrete walls. I have seen people smear feces across their sink, windows, doors, faces, and bodies. I have had my hand in saving more than three lives. Behaviors and choices neither you nor I would ever imagine making in this lifetime; Deputies at the Coos County Jail witness, endure, and resolve most every day. Balanced amongst these extremes is a day of weighted responsibilities. Courtrooms, public inquiries, new arrestees, fingerprints, phone calls, reports, files, transportation, medical requests, meal services, dayrooms, yard schedule, visitation, sanitation, housing adjustments, classification reviews, wellness checks, general questions, and more. Along with the paperwork to track it all. My time at the Coos County Jail has been the most demanding and growth-inducing period of my life. We are physically tested weekly, mentally tested daily, and emotionally tested hourly. I am inspired every shift by the fortitude and respect my co-workers maintain when others would certainly falter. It has been an honor serving the public through my efforts at the Coos County Jail. I thank you for taking the time to consider this short description of the work jail deputies handle for our community members. Featured News by Coos County Sheriff

Media Release February 2, 2026 Seat Belt and Child Safety Enforcement Campaign The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is stepping up efforts to keep families safe on the road. From January 26 through February 8, deputies will conduct focused enforcement of seat belt and child safety seat laws across the county—because your safety, and your family’s safety, matters. Although Oregon boasts a high seat belt use rate of 95.53% (2024), unrestrained crashes still lead to tragic outcomes every year. According to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT): In 2021, failure to wear a seat belt was a factor in half of Oregon’s traffic fatalities. More than one-third of children under age 8 injured in crashes were unrestrained, held on laps, or moved to adult belts too soon. This enforcement effort is funded by the Oregon IMPACT Traffic Safety Grant, which provides additional patrol hours dedicated to preventing serious injuries and saving lives. Our message is simple: -Buckle up—every trip, every seat. -Make sure children are in the right seat for their age and size. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect the people you love. For more information on child passenger safety, visit ODOT’s Safety Resources. Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff
