Former Recipients

Deputy Lance Ramsey has been a distinguished Deputy with the Tulsa County Sheriff s Office for over 22 years. During 2009, he was assigned to the Tulsa County Metro Drug Task Force as an Investigator. He has written over 300 search and arrest warrants for suspects in drug-related cases. Deputy Ramsey has accounted for over 50% of the Task Force statistics during the year, which included the recovery of over a half million dollars in narcotics, pills and marijuana and over one quarter million dollars in assets. He arrives early to set up activities by doing surveillance of suspects and vehicles. He does trash pulls early in the mornings to gather intelligence information and evidence that provides valuable leads to the Task Force members. In one case alone, Lance received information from an informant and through discovery, he was able to pull together the seizure of six hundred pounds of marijuana. His findings resulted in two significant arrests, which led to additional arrests and seizures, taking users, dealers and drugs off the streets of Tulsa County. In addition to his assigned duties, Lance is also a member of the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT). He volunteers his time for community events, and runs each year in the Law Enforcement Torch Run supporting Special Olympics of Oklahoma. Deputy Ramsey’s eagerness and loyalty to the Sheriff s Office is demonstrated daily. His ability and talent as an investigator and peace officer have earned him a highly-respected reputation among law enforcement officers.
