Putney Neighborhood Watch — Community Safety in Action! 💚💛

Last night, the Dougherty County Police Department had the opportunity to connect with residents during the Putney Neighborhood Watch meeting—and we’re proud to share some great news!

As part of our commitment to helping keep our neighborhoods safe, Dougherty County Police Department was able to provide free Ring doorbell cameras to residents. 📹🏠

These cameras are another tool to help residents stay connected, aware, and proactive when it comes to protecting their homes and neighborhoods.

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, and continues to partner with us to make Putney a safer and stronger community. When law enforcement and our community work together, everyone benefits.

Thank You, Union Missionary Baptist Church! 🙏🏽

The Dougherty County Police Department would like to sincerely thank Union Missionary Baptist Church for allowing our department to conduct an active shooter response drill at your church.

For churches, an active shooter drill provides an opportunity to identify potential safety concerns, strengthen emergency response plans, improve communication, and help church leaders and members understand what to do in the event of an emergency.

These drills are not meant to create fear-they are designed to prepare, educate, and protect. Every second matters during an active threat, and having a plan can help save lives.

Together, we can be prepared. Together, we can protect our community.
