Lee J. Behrens came to the Kerr County Sheriff's Office in December 1985 as a corrections officer. During this time he also was cross trained as a dispatcher.

In July 1989 after completing the Basic Peace Officer's Certification with the Regional Law Enforcement Academy he became a deputy for the Sheriff's Office.

He spent time as a Warrant Deputy, Patrol Deputy, and Investigator. In December 1992 he was promoted to Shift Corporal on Patrol.

In October 1993 he was transferred as a corporal into the Warrant Division. In October 1999 he was promoted to Sergeant within the Warrant Division where he currently is assigned. In 2001 he was asked by Sheriff Hierholzer to represent the Sheriffs Office as a member on the board for Hill Country CASA.

Sgt. Behrens holds an Masters Peace Officer's Certificate and Master Jailer's Certificate. He also holds a certificate as a certified Instructor.

The Warrant Division contains within it the Warrant, Civil, Transportation, Bailiff, and Work Program Deputies. The Warrant Division maintains this with 7 sworn deputies and a clerk. The Work Program, with use of incarcerated inmates, was added to this division in 2000.

Among serving warrants and civil papers, the division assists the Jail Division in transporting inmates to court, consisting of a County Court @ Law and 2 District Courts, and to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Id, and any other activities that come about. With the capture of individuals outside this county, they are transported and returned to this county from within this state and  the United States.

To give a look into the activities for a county this size. In the year 2003 there was 238 out of county transports of 342 inmates, traveling about 86,341 miles. Accumulating about 1666.5 hours in doing so. They returned 17 inmates from out of state by a transport company. This year we received 3147 warrants and served 3115. This was generated from 4 Justices of the Peace, County Court @ Law, and the 198th & 216th District Court. 

From these same courts and courts outside our county we received 3819 civil papers: subpoenas, citations, writs, and executions, and served 3471. Returned not served 348.

To maintain the work load within the division, the deputies are familiar with each other's duties so that they may assist where needed.
