Sheriff Lyons
Terry Lyons has been with the Erie County Sheriff’s Department since 1984. He has held the positions of Deputy Sheriff, Jail Administrator, and Captain prior to being elected as Sheriff in 2001. He’s a graduate of the Sandusky Police Academy. His educational background also includes the United States Marshal’s Service Training and the F.B.I. National Academies.
Since Sheriff Lyons has been in office, the department (PDF, 26KB) has implemented a more community oriented policing concept. This has been accomplished by establishing sheriff substations in Berlin, Florence, Groton, Huron, Margaretta, Milan, Oxford and Vermilion Townships.
The D.A.R.E. program has been expanded to include 6th grade students in the Margaretta and Berlin-Milan School systems. A School Resource Officer has also been placed at EHOVE Career Center and the North Point Educational School.
