On November 28, 2016, the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office will begin its annual “Operation St. Nick” program to run through December 31, 2016.

Operation St. Nick is designed to curb the increase in property crimes spurred by the upcoming holiday season by the implementation of added patrols in the rural areas. During this time, citizens are encouraged to be on the look-out, and report any suspicious activity in and around their residences, neighborhoods, or places of business.

In the event that such activity is observed please contact the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office 24-hour non-emergency phone line at (806)775-1601, or in the event of an actual emergency, dial 9-1-1.
