I am proud of the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office investigators who participated in Operation Soteria Shield alongside our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners. Protecting children from online predators remains a top priority, and we will continue to aggressively pursue those who exploit and victimize children.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day | May 25, 2026

On this solemn day, the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office pauses to honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and the freedoms we hold dear.

Memorial Day is more than a holiday — it is a sacred reminder of the cost of freedom. We are forever indebted to those who gave everything so that we may live, serve, and protect our communities.

To the Gold Star families who carry the weight of that sacrifice every day — we see you, we thank you, and we will never forget.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

May we never take for granted the liberty secured by their courage.
