WELCOME TO THE KINGSLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT FAMILY! 👮‍♂️

Over the past week, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming several new faces to the Kingsland Police Department, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce them to our community!

Please join us in welcoming Officer Guerrero, Officer Henderson, Officer Samples, and Corporal Sanchez to the KPD family! 👏

👮‍♂️ OFFICER GUERRERO

Officer Guerrero comes to us from Las Vegas and recently graduated from the Georgia Public Safety Training Center’s Coastal 007 Police Academy, officially beginning his law enforcement career here at KPD.

Before entering law enforcement, Officer Guerrero worked as a martial arts instructor. His desire to help others and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most ultimately led him to pursue a career in law enforcement.

We are excited to watch him begin this journey and make his mark here in Kingsland!

👮‍♂️ OFFICER HENDERSON

Officer Henderson joins us from Blackshear, Georgia, and, like Guerrero, is a proud graduate of Coastal 007.

Before joining the law enforcement profession, Henderson worked in the railroad yards. Growing up, he didn’t fully understand the world of law enforcement, but his curiosity eventually led him to explore the profession and that curiosity turned into a dream of becoming a police officer.

Now, that dream has become a reality!

Henderson is excited to serve the citizens of Kingsland and hopes to make a positive impact in our community. We’re excited to have him aboard!

👮‍♂️ OFFICER SAMPLES

We’re also proud to welcome Officer Samples, who joins KPD as a certified officer.

Samples previously served with the Glynn County Police Department for five years before stepping away from law enforcement to pursue other opportunities. However, he quickly realized just how much he enjoyed serving others, helping people, and making a positive difference.

That passion brought him back to law enforcement — and we’re grateful that it brought him to Kingsland!

Officer Samples said:

“I am committed and dedicated to being the best officer I can be for the citizens of Kingsland and the Kingsland Police Department.”

We couldn’t ask for a better commitment as he begins this new chapter with KPD.

👮‍♂️ CORPORAL SANCHEZ

Last, but certainly not least, we’re excited to welcome Corporal Sanchez back to the Kingsland Police Department family!

Sanchez previously served with KPD before stepping away to focus on other things. But after some time away, he realized just how much he treasured this community, this agency, and the opportunity to serve.

Ultimately, he made the decision to return home — and we couldn’t be happier to have him back!

Corporal Sanchez shared that he is beyond grateful to be back with the KPD family and serving the citizens of Kingsland once again.

FOUR NEW FACES. FOUR DIFFERENT JOURNEYS. ONE KPD FAMILY.

Whether they are beginning their careers, returning to law enforcement, bringing years of experience, or returning home to an agency they already know and love, each of these officers brings something unique to our department.

Please join us in congratulating Georgia’s newest officers, Officer Guerrero and Officer Henderson, and welcoming our experienced Officers, Officer Samples and Corporal Sanchez, to the Kingsland Police Department family!

We’re proud to have you all wearing the badge and representing Kingsland, Georgia.

Welcome to the family! We’re glad you’re here! 👮‍♂️🇺🇸

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL IS HERE !!!

You know it’s officially back-to-school time when the first-day pictures start rolling in and we are excited to share our first day of school pictures.

Our three School Resource Officers were ready to report for duty bright and early this morning!

👮‍♂️ Sergeant Flowers
👮‍♂️ Officer Warner
👮‍♂️ Officer Sosa

We may be a little biased, but we think they look pretty good for their first day of school pictures! 😂

Our SROs are excited to be back in our schools, reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new students, and helping make sure everyone has a safe and successful school year.

To all of our students, welcome back! We hope your first day is filled with new friends, new experiences, and plenty of reasons to smile.

And parents… don’t forget to take those first-day pictures! We want to see those smiles, backpacks, new shoes, and “Mom, can I go now?” faces! Just remember to limit the information included on those sings/ boards to not give away crucial safety information. Keep it simple and light hearted.

From all of us at the Kingsland Police Department, have a fantastic first day and an amazing school year!

Welcome back, Kingsland! We’re glad to see you! 👮‍♂️

🎒📚 BACK TO SCHOOL, KINGSLAND 📚🎒

Tomorrow is the big day! The halls will be filled with new faces, familiar friends, excited students, and maybe a few nervous parents. We are excited to see you all and welcome everyone back for another great school year!

As everyone gets back into the routine, we want to share a few back-to-school safety reminders:

🚗 New Drivers: Take your time, stay focused, and put the phone away. School zones mean more pedestrians, buses, bicycles, and vehicles than usual. Slow down and give yourself extra time to get where you're going.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Caregivers: Whether you're dropping off a kindergartener or a teenager starting at a new school, please follow the school's traffic patterns and drop-off procedures. Be patient—those first few mornings can be a little hectic!

🚌 School Buses: When a school bus is stopped with its red lights activated and stop arm extended, **STOP!** Give students plenty of room and never attempt to pass a stopped school bus.

🚸 Watch for Pedestrians: Students may be walking or riding bicycles to school. Keep an extra eye out around crosswalks, intersections, parking lots, and school entrances.

📵 Put the Phone Down: Distracted driving is dangerous at any time, but especially around schools. Your attention belongs on the road.

🚦 Slow Down in School Zones: Give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning and afternoon. A little patience can make a huge difference in keeping our students safe.

👮‍♂️ And don't be surprised to see us!

Just as we have done in previous years, the Kingsland Police Department will have an increased presence at all of our schools during the start of the school year. Officers will be out helping with traffic, keeping an eye on our school zones, and most importantly welcoming students, parents, teachers, and staff back to school.

There is nothing to worry about. Our increased presence is simply part of our commitment to keeping our schools and community safe. We are just as excited as you are to see all the new faces and familiar ones returning for another school year. ❤️💙

From all of us at the Kingsland Police Department, we wish every student, parent, teacher, and staff member a safe, successful, and fantastic first day of school !

Welcome back, Kingsland, Let's have a great school year ! 🎒📓🍎

Community Assistance Requested

The Kingsland Police Department is asking for your help in identifying the individual shown in the video below.

This incident occurred at Tractor Supply, located at 1584 Boone Street in Kingsland. The suspect entered the store and loaded a shopping cart with several high-value items, including two winches and a collapsible dog kennel. After making it appear as though he intended to pay for the merchandise, the suspect suddenly ran out of the store, pushing the cart to a waiting dark gray SUV, believed to possibly be a Hyundai Veracruz (not confirmed), where a driver was waiting. The stolen items were quickly loaded into the vehicle, and both individuals fled the area.

If you recognize the suspect, the vehicle, or have any information that may assist in this investigation, please contact the Kingsland Police Department at (912) 729-8254 and ask to speak with Investigator Sergeant Gonzalez or the supervisor on duty.

Even the smallest piece of information could be valuable. We appreciate your continued support in helping keep our community safe.

Thank you for your assistance.
