New Mexico sheriff oversight

Harding County

Pedro Lorenzo Bolin, Sheriff

Compare with similar counties · New Mexico average

Harding County has no independent civilian oversight body for its Sheriff's Office. New Mexico's sheriff is a constitutional officer, elected to a four-year term in every county under Art. X, Sec. 2 of the New Mexico Constitution. Los Alamos County, the state's sole incorporated county under Art. X, Sec. 5, is a structural exception: its sheriff remains elected, but the County Council reassigned nearly all law-enforcement duties to the Los Alamos Police Department in 2016. No statewide statute requires county-level civilian oversight of a sheriff's office.

Staffing and budget data for Harding County will appear in a future update.
