The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Mental Health Task Force, American Top Team - Team Lima, and Warrior Training Facility have now partnered to combat teen crime, bullying, and the epidemic of teen depression. Utilizing the proven lessons inherent to Mixed Martial Arts and under the tutelage of three-time Bellator MMA Champion Douglas Lima, UFC Fighter Dhiego Lima, and their team, this partnership will seek to intervene and re-direct the youth of our community towards a positive self-concept and a positive lifestyle.

The GCSO Mental Health Task Force and American Top Team - Team Lima also understand the vital connection between physical, mental, and emotional health. With this in mind, we encourage all first responders in our communities to join Officer Troy Quick with Warrior Training Facility. Learn how Officer Quick's innovative program "Warrior Training" will improve your overall health while developing your imperative defensive abilities and mental/emotional strength. The Warrior Training Facility is located at 3650 Satellite Blvd A in Duluth. Officer Quick can be contacted at (770) 878-3092.

Fellow CERT Members,

We are very saddened by the news. We have lost a fellow CERT Member. Kelly Alder became a CERT member in 2015. She lost her battle with breast cancer yesterday surrounded by loved ones.

Our condolences go out to her family and friends. She was also a graduate of the Citizen’s Police Academy of Gwinnett.

Kelly is located on the 4th from the left

Thank You for your service to your community.

911 can now support texts.
Get the word out to folks you know who have difficulty with speech or hearing.
Also some situations it may be safer to text, whoever you are.
It is still better for people who CAN call to call and save the text line for those who need it
