KINGFISHER COUNTY — January 2 marked one year in office for Aaron Pitts, a milestone that comes with a year of updates, growth, and increased community involvement for the Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office.
During his first 365 days, several visible changes were made within the department. The Sheriff’s Office introduced a refreshed look that included a new badge design, updated uniforms, and new decals on patrol vehicles. The updates were part of a broader effort to modernize the department while maintaining professionalism and pride in service.
Staffing and public safety were also key priorities. Over the past year, five additional deputies were hired, improving patrol coverage, increasing visibility, and strengthening the Sheriff’s Office’s ability to serve communities across the county.
Community engagement remained an important focus throughout the year. Deputies participated in the Kingfisher Fourth of July parade, where they handed out treats donated by employees of the Sheriff’s Office. They also took part in Downtown Trick-or-Treat in Kingfisher, enjoying the opportunity to interact with families while handing out candy and admiring the wide variety of costumes.
Training and preparedness were emphasized as well. Multiple training days were held to ensure all deputies are properly certified to carry the Taser 7, while still maintaining adequate patrol coverage throughout the county.
The holiday season showcased strong cooperation among local agencies and community groups. The Sheriff’s Office participated in holiday events in both Hennessey and Kingfisher, including the Holidays With Heroes program alongside the Kingfisher Police Department and the Kingfisher Fire Department. Deputies also joined the Hennessey Reserve Angel program with the Hennessey Police Department and the Hennessey Reserve Angels, helping support local families during the holidays.
As the Sheriff’s Office reflects on the past year, it recognizes a wide range of moments, from difficult calls to community celebrations, all underscoring the close-knit nature of the county’s towns and rural areas. Officials say they look forward to continued involvement and stronger connections within each community in the years ahead.
