A Message from Lieutenant Sinhal
​
My name is Vimal Sinhal, and I currently serve as the Lieutenant over the Support Services Division with the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office.
I began my career with the Lenoir
County Sheriff’s Office in 2003.
Over the past twenty-three years,
I have had the opportunity to serve
as a Deputy Sheriff in Patrol and in
various other positions throughout
my career. These experiences have
allowed me to grow professionally
and gain a broad understanding of
the many responsibilities of the
Sheriff’s Office.
​
In 2022, Sheriff Jackie Rogers
assigned me to the rank of
Lieutenant. In my current role
with Support Services, I oversee
the division and its responsibilities,
which include court services,
civil services, executions, child support,
School Resource Officers, and
Reserve Deputies. The Support
Services Division also assists the
Patrol and Detention Divisions when needed.
​
My goal is to maintain good morals within the office while helping keep our community safe. I also want to help make the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office a workplace where future deputies want to build their careers and serve and protect the citizens of Lenoir County.
