Tommie Johnson III

Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommie Johnson III is an Oklahoma City native and a decorated law enforcement professional. Sheriff Johnson took office on January 4, 2021. He has made significant improvements to the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office in just a short time. 

Sheriff Johnson made it clear that his focus in office would be on transparency and increasing efficiency within the agency. Johnson’s first order of business was to request a full audit of the Sheriff’s Office property and put in place new mechanisms for better maintaining inventory. Every month Sheriff Johnson releases spending numbers, to the penny, on social media. He has equipped deputies with body cameras for the first time in the agency’s history, believing the cameras not only exonerate the innocent, but also hold deputies accountable. 

Recognizing the need for improved mental health services, Sheriff Johnson named a deputy full time to work with our mental health consumers, dramatically reducing the number of 911 calls we get from those consumers. This is a proactive way of policing and helping those in mental health crisis, while also freeing up deputies to patrol and keep communities safe. He also partnered with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to equip all patrol deputies with an iPad so they can connect with a counselor 24/7 to help those in crisis. Sheriff Johnson also requires all deputies to go through CIT (Crisis Intervention Training) to be able to work with people experiencing mental health issues. 

Under Johnson’s leadership, deputies now have the tools they need to protect and serve the people of Oklahoma County. He purchased more than 120 new Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicles to replace the agency’s aging fleet using federal dollars so there was no impact on local taxes. He also purchased new ballistic vests for deputies through a combination of seized drug funds and donations. 

Johnson is a graduate of Eastern Oklahoma State College and East Central University and rose to the rank of Master Police Officer at the Norman Police Department before being elected Sheriff. He serves as a youth sports coach and regularly volunteers as a mentor for at risk kids in local elementary schools, where he tries to be a positive male influence in the lives of young boys. That is why Johnson chose to be sworn in as Sheriff at his high school alma-mater to send the message that, with hard work, you can accomplish anything! 

Johnson grew up attending Antioch Baptist Church and is now a member of People’s Church, both in Oklahoma City. He and his wife, Amanda have been married since 2014 and have three sons and a daughter. 

Sheriff Johnson was sworn in to his second term as Oklahoma County Sheriff on January 2, 2025 and was sworn in to his second term as Region Two Board Representative for the Major County Sheriff’s of 

America on January 27, 2025. When his Region Two seat came up for re-election, he was unopposed and was sworn in to his second term. In this position, Sheriff Johnson represents the Sheriff’s in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
