Spotsylvania County, VA – As the new year begins, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging residents to keep their New Year’s resolutions realistic, positive, and long-lasting, sharing a message focused on consistency rather than perfection.
According to the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Roger L. Harris issued a public reminder this week emphasizing that success in the new year comes from small, manageable changes rather than ambitious goals that fade after a few weeks. The message was shared through the department’s official social media channels as 2026 gets underway.
The Sheriff’s Office highlighted five practical tips designed to help residents stay committed to their resolutions. These include starting with small goals, focusing on one resolution at a time, tracking progress, partnering with someone for accountability, and staying positive while being kind to oneself.
The post also reminded residents that resolutions don’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful. Whether it’s driving with less distraction, checking in on neighbors, improving personal health, or simply being more mindful each day, officials said small, consistent efforts can lead to lasting impact.
Sheriff Harris noted that progress, not perfection, should be the goal—an approach that mirrors the department’s commitment to community safety, professionalism, and support throughout the year.
The Sheriff’s Office said it plans to continue engaging with residents through community-focused messaging in 2026, encouraging shared responsibility and mutual accountability.
Residents are encouraged to reflect on their goals, support one another, and approach the new year with patience and determination.
