From the drone pad to the classroom!

Lt. Mitchell from our Drone Team, along with Deputies Bradberry and Prough from our C.H.A.M.P.S. program, recently spent time with students at 4-H Robotics Day.

The crew gave students a firsthand look at how PCSO uses drone technology to help keep our community safe, support our deputies in the field, and add one more layer of protection when every second counts.

Robots, drones, and deputies? Now that’s our kind of show-and-tell.

Every parent has said it:

“Be careful.”

But when it comes to e-bikes and e-scooters, those two words are not enough.

Before your child rides to the pool, to a friend’s house, or through the neighborhood, make sure they are ready. Make sure the ride is age-appropriate. Make sure the helmet is buckled. Make sure they know the rules of the road.

This is the first in a new safety video series from the Sheriff’s Office and Solicitor-General's Office.

Our goal is simple: help parents prepare their children before something goes wrong.

Check the ride.
Buckle the helmet.
Teach the rules.

Leadership remains a top priority at the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, and we’re proud to partner with organizations like the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce - Georgia and the Leadership Paulding Program to help develop the leaders of tomorrow within our agency.

Earlier today, Lieutenant Rickey Waters joined the list of Leadership Paulding graduates as he completed Leadership Paulding Class 36. His commitment to growth, service, and leadership reflects the values we strive to uphold and helps make both our agency and community stronger every day.

Congratulations, Lt. Waters!

Earlier today, deputies with our Courthouse Security Division, along with Paulding County School District Safety, helped the amazing folks at CAYA (Come As You Are Reconciliation Ministries) pack summer lunches for local children. CAYA was then able to deliver more than 700 lunches to kids throughout our community.

These efforts make a real difference during the summer months when many children rely on programs like this for regular meals. Shoutout to these deputies and officers who turned lunch-packing into a full-on community mission!

Our new HEAT Unit (Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic) has officially kicked off the 100 Days of Summer HEAT Campaign.

From Memorial Day through Labor Day, our deputies are partnering with the Georgia GOHS, other local law enforcement agencies, and state troopers across Georgia to target dangerous driving behaviors and reduce fatal crashes during one of the deadliest travel seasons of the year.

🚔 Dangerous Speeds
🚔 Reckless Driving
🚔 DUI Enforcement
🚔 Seatbelt Violations

If you’re driving carelessly on the roads this summer, there’s a good chance you’ll meet our HEAT Unit. Trust us, you do not want to FAFO on Paulding roads.

This statewide safety initiative has been protecting Georgia highways since 2004, and our deputies will be out in full force working to keep families safe all summer long.

✅ Slow down
✅ Buckle up
✅ Stay alert
✅ Get home safely

Before the cookouts, the lake days, and the long weekend plans, we pause.

Memorial Day is not about those of us still standing here. It is about the men and women who gave every tomorrow they had so the rest of us could keep ours.

From all of us at the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, we honor the fallen, we remember their families, and we ask our community to carry that gratitude with them today.

Their sacrifice is not a talking point. It is a debt we live under every day.

Never forgotten.

The holiday weekend is officially pulling into the driveway like it owns the place.

We want everybody to enjoy it — grill something, go to the lake, sit on the porch, argue with your cousin about potato salad, whatever brings you peace.

But hear us clearly, shug:

Do not drink and drive.
Do not let your “I’m fine” friend drive.
Do not turn the family cookout into an episode of COPS.
Do not make us open up a holiday weekend room at the Henson Hotel.

Call a ride, hand over the keys, wear your seatbelt, watch your speed, and make good choices.

We would much rather wave at you in traffic than meet you on the side of the road.

Y’all be safe. Don’t be the reason we have to put on our serious pants.

Take care.
