Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Price’s family, friends, co-workers and community as they mourn his untimely passing. 🙏🙏

With heavy hearts, the San Augustine County Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of Captain Mike Price, who passed away today, October 21, 2026, at his home.
Captain Price served and retired from the United States Air Force before dedicating himself to law enforcement. He was a true leader, a trusted friend, and an irreplaceable member of our team and community. His service and presence will be deeply missed by his fellow deputies, staff, and everyone who knew him.
We extend our deepest condolences to Captain Price’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

If anyone has any pictures of Captain Price they would like to share for his slideshow, please send directly to his wife Jessica Bryan-Price.

Please join us in congratulating Deputy Thomas Jernigan on his recent promotion to Patrol Sergeant with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office

Sergeant Jernigan brings 15 years of law enforcement experience to his new position and will provide leadership and supervision alongside longtime Patrol Sergeant Misty Ray. The two sergeants will work opposite portions of the week, helping ensure consistent supervision and guidance for our patrol deputies.

Sergeant Jernigan has also recently completed the First Line Supervision training required by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), further preparing him for the responsibilities of his new role.

We are also pleased to announce that, through the Texas Senate Bill 22 Rural Law Enforcement Salary Assistance Grant Program, and with the approval of the Shelby County Commissioners Court, we have been able to provide modest pay increases to our supervisors.

Previously, most supervisory personnel received the same compensation as the employees they supervised, despite having additional duties and responsibilities. These adjustments help recognize the greater level of accountability, leadership, and responsibility expected of our supervisors, many of whom continue performing the same day-to-day duties as those under their supervision.

These increases are funded through state grant funds, without requiring additional local tax revenue for the increases. We appreciate the support of the Texas Legislature and the Shelby County Commissioners Court in helping us recognize the responsibilities of our supervisory personnel.

We congratulate Sergeant Jernigan on his well-deserved promotion and look forward to his continued service and leadership within the Shelby County Sheriff's Office!
