Sheriff Andy Cumberledge

  • My name is Andy Cumberledge, and I am the 16th elected Sheriff for Love County, Oklahoma. Love County has a population of just over 10,000 citizens. The County covers 532 square miles and is centrally located as far south as you can go before crossing into Texas on I-35. We are bordered by Cooke County Texas to the south, Marshall County, Oklahoma to the East, Carter County, Oklahoma to the North, and Jefferson County, Oklahoma to the West.
  • I grew up in Love County and I am a graduate of Marietta High School in Marietta, Oklahoma. In 2019 I earned my Associate degree in Criminal Justice from Murray State College and in 2022 I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. During my time at Southeastern I had the opportunity to be initiated into the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity which I am now a proud Alumni of.
  • I am married to my beautiful wife Marisa, and we have 2 children Trinity (19) and Grady (8 months). When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family. We enjoy family cookouts on the weekend, attending local social functions, and just creating lasting memories that our children will cherish throughout their lives.
  • I have worked for the Love County Sheriff's Office since April of 2016 beginning my law enforcement career as an unpaid Reserve Deputy. In August of 2016, I was offered a full-time Patrol Deputy position which I accepted, and I graduated from CLEET in February of 2017 with the Class of A1605 in Ada, Oklahoma.
  • In 2020 I was promoted to Undersheriff by the late Sheriff Marty Grisham. In May of 2022 Sheriff Grisham passed away unexpectedly near the beginning of his 2nd term in office. In the wake of his passing, I was appointed unanimously by the Board of County Commissioners to fulfil the remainder of his term which ended up being approximately 2.5 years.
  • In June of 2024 I won my primary election by 75% of the county vote and did not draw a democratic opponent securing my first full term as the Love County Sheriff which began in January of 2025.
  • I am a graduate of the 119th session of the National Sheriff’s Institute’s Leadership Development course, a graduate of the 4th session of the National Sheriff’s Institute’s Jail Administration Course, and a graduate of the 4th session of the FBI’s National Command Course.
  • I currently hold an Advanced Law Enforcement Certification with CLEET, I am a certified instructor, I am one of the agencies weapons armorers and I am an instructor for less lethal munitions certified through ALS/Pacem Defense.
  • In addition to my CLEET certifications I also hold an SLEC (Special Law Enforcement Commission) through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a cross commissioner with the Chickasaw Nation Lighthorse Police, and a commission through the United States Marshals for the FBI where I am active on the CID Task Force (formerly “Safe Trails Task Force”).
  • I have represented the Oklahoma Sheriff’s Association as a board member for the South-Central Region for the last 3 years and I am honored to be appointed to represent the Sheriff’s Association here at CLEET on this Council. I have placed heavy emphasis on training for Deputies in my administration so to be a voice for small counties in the State, here at CLEET, and to have the opportunity to be a part of making CLEET bigger and better for future law enforcement professionals is a true honor for me.
