Joshua Lee Timmons

He attended Roosevelt Schools from Kindergarten through his Senior year, where he excelled in academics as well as in athletics and won many awards. After graduating from high school, Josh went on to graduate from South Plains College, earning an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. It was his athletic ability that continued him onto Wayland Baptist University, where he participated in baseball and track. Josh earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Justice Administration with a minor in Sociology. Soon after earning his degree, he joined the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office working in the Jail Detention Division. Josh graduated from the 74th Basic Peace Officer Academy on October 1, 2010. On November 23, 2010, Josh was sworn in as Deputy for the LSO. There was much yet to be accomplished.
