Sheriff's office and jail closed to 'walk-in' traffic for both routine/non-routine functions

[gpatt0n]

The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office and Jail will be closed to the public until further notice.

The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office will continue to respond to all emergency calls for service and will still operate our Jail. If you need to file a nonemergency report, please contact the Paulding E-911 non-emergency line at (770) 445-2117 and a Deputy will contact you back to take your report over the telephone.

Our Jail will function as normal to include the intake and bonding processes. Although we will cease any on-site inmate video visitation, we will be offering one free off site video visitation per week for each inmate. For more information go to the online visitation website at https://www.gettingout.com/.

Services that will also be impacted by this closure are criminal history checks, background checks, and all other non-essential functions that the Sheriff’s Office assists with. We will still be assisting victims with the Temporary Protective Order (TPO) process, however we ask that you call before you arrive at our main office.

You will also still be able to obtain reports by emailing Records Supervisor Lisa Sheirling at lsheirling@paulding.gov. Some important numbers to remember are listed below:

Sheriff Gary Gulledge stated, “This is an unprecedented time in our world. We all have to come together and abide by the standards that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended.

Please remember to use Universal Precautions and if you feel sick or ill, please stay away from others and seek medical attention immediately.

Unless it is an emergency situation, we ask that you please do not come to the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office and Jail.” If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to call (770) 443-3010 and we will do our best to direct you to the best resource to help fulfill your needs.

These actions were taken upon the recommendation of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and President Donald Trump. The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office is taking steps to ensure the wellness and safety of our employees, citizens, and inmates.
