The task force s purpose is to ensure the continued safety of both county residents and visitors, as well as ensuring the public understands that local law enforcement is unwilling to tolerate criminal activity.
End of Watch. Three words we never want to hear, because it means we have a fallen officer.
Randall County Sheriff s Office unexpectedly lost one of their own Tuesday, May 18th as Sergeant Christopher Shayne Mays passed away.
There are few known details surrounding his passing. An autopsy was conducted in Lubbock on May 19, but that is not what anyone is truly focused on. This is a man who dedicated his life to public service and protecting others, and he did it for 24 years in our area.
Sgt. Mays worked for the Randall County Sheriff s Office for the past 10 years. He also had a long stint at the Canyon Police Department. With the news of his passing, there has been an outpouring of support for him and some wonderful tributes.

Officials with the Randall County Commissioners Court ended a burn ban for the county earlier this week, allowing the burning of household trash as well as other items within the county.
According to a news release from the county, only certain items, including domestic waste and on-site burning of waste plant growth, are legally allowed to be burned. The release states that the timing of those burns must be monitored.
This comes after Potter County extended its burn ban for the next 90 days earlier this month. That ban is set to end in early August.
