Lexington County Sheriff’s Department

Annual ceremony honors fallen officers of Lexington County

“Anytime you put the badge on, you know when you leave the house, you may not come home. And it’s something we’ve all lived with and accepted and run towards danger when citizens run away from it, so it’s our calling and it’s what we do, but we do know and understand that one day our number may be called and we may be called to lay down our life in the line of duty,” says Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon.
