Jasper and Newton Counties to become part of the Department of Justice's Project Safe Neighborhoods

Father and son, Jasper County Sheriff-Elect Chuck Havard and Newton County Sheriff-Elect Colton Havard won't take office officially until January 1st of next year, but both men are already working hard to make sure that they have everything lined out and are ready to hit the ground running on that day.


The younger Havard said of himself and his dad, "Chuck Havard and I are proud to announce that starting January 1, 2025, Jasper and Newton County Sheriff’s Offices will join the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN). PSN is a nationwide initiative that is focused on bringing local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and prosecutors together to identify and combat violent crime in our communities".


Havard added, "We would also like to thank United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, Damien Diggs and his staff for the invitation and appreciate his dedication and determination to help fight the war on drugs and other violent criminals in our counties".
