I did a good job at staying behind the scenes on this one. However, all of the deputies in brown uniforms are Paulding County deputies. Several of the role players in civilian clothes are Paulding County Deputies as well. Others were volunteers from the local Georgia State Patrol post, Paulding County District Attorney's office, and other local government offices.

Paulding County Announces the Media Release of "Drive High, It’s Still DUI" The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the release of a new driver safety television ad that didn’t cost the taxpayers a penny, but it’s worth its weight in gold for the lives it could save on our highways. “Drive High, It’s Still DUI” is an educational ad designed to make local viewers more aware of the problems associated with driving under the influence of many everyday prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as what are commonly mislabeled as “recreational drugs.” “It’

Our "anonymous tip" email address has been published on several other occasions. However, it was not published in this particular case.

Our tip email address is tips@paulding.gov.

Reminder...

The notifications are sent out within a certain mile radius of where the incident is taking place. We can choose how large of an area to send the notification out to when we send the message. If we are looking for a missing person in a certain area, we have the option of only notifying people that live within that area. We can also send the notification out county wide if we choose. The reason that nothing is showing up for you is because we have not had any incidents take place recently in your area that we sent out notifications on. Also, if your home is fairly new, the address ma

There were NO "hard hit" areas last night of entering autos. I would like to think that it is because people are now more aware of this problem and have taken the appropriate steps (i.e. locking car doors) to prevent this crime. There were only 3 entering auto reports received from over night. None of them were from the areas where we have seen the increase. Please continue to spread the word to other family and friends of the steps that they can take to reduce their risk of becoming a victim. I hope to continue to see this decrease in entering auto crime throughout the weekend and

Attention Paulding County Citizens: By now, I would hope that you are all taking the necessary precautions (removing valuable and locking vehicles) to protect yourselves from becoming victims of entering autos.

All of the vehicles were UNLOCKED. Ivey Springs subdivision off of Ivey Gulledge Rd fell victim to several entering autos over the weekend. All of the vehicles were UNLOCKED.

Reminder..... Tonight is the last night of the 2009 Cyber Safety Summit.

I have added a 5th email review of last night's summit to my above post.

Attention Neighborhood Watch members: I wanted to thank those of you who took time to come to the Cyber Safety Summit last night. I look forward to seeing and meeting more of you Wednesday night at East Paulding High School. We received a lot of positive feedback after the summit as well as emails. I feel like that this summit has already made the impact that we hoped it would make. I mentioned last night that we as law enforcement will not be able to stop crime from taking place. However, when a partnership between local law enforcement and the citizens in the community is built a s

Excellent point.... This is a growing problem and concern. The online activity that you just described has become known as "cyberbullying." Cyberbullying can and has led to bigger problems at school and in the social lives of our children. That will also be dicussed in more detail at this summit.

We do not have plans at this time to offer a large scale presentation like this on a regular basis. We do speak in neighborhood watch meetings, church groups, schools, and other gatherings about cyber safety when invited and asked to give information about this topic. For this event there will be representatives from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Internet Crimes Against Children unit, Keep Georgia Safe, Paulding County Sheriff's Office, and others to speak on different topics. You will also hear from two different local families whose lives were changed forever when their child

Do not forget to RSVP by email for this FREE event. Seating is limited. We will let you know if your RSVP is received after we have filled up both locations. We will plan on offering this summit in the future if needed to accommodate everyone that is interested.
