Ransom has worked his entire law enforcement career with the sheriff’s office, Captain Patrick Jacobs said, starting with the office in 1993.

Ransom retired as a lieutenant. “Throughout his years of service in law enforcement Ransom has been a major asset to the sheriff’s office and the citizens of Northampton County,” Jacobs said. “He has worked numerous years in the patrol division as a sergeant and lieutenant, within the child support division, and within the court division.” During his career he also worked as a patrol officer with the Garysburg Police Department for more than 21 years.
