A Message From Your Sheriff

The past year has been good to most of the citizens of Troup County and it has been good for the Troup County Sheriff's Office. We have continued our efforts to make your community a better place to live, work and raise families. I believe Troup County is a great place to live, but I also believe it could be better.

That is why my office is always looking for new ways to protect the people of this community. In the past year, we have made several changes that many people may not even notice, but we certainly do.

We have added video cameras to all of our patrol cars making court cases easier to prosecute. A few years ago we installed the "Are You Okay?" computer to give elderly and disabled members of the community peace of mind. The Sheriff's Academy for Youth or "SAY", continues to grow and currently we are hosting two week-long sessions during the summer. We recently purchased a Special Operations Vehicle using funds received through a grant. This vehicle will be utilized during inclement weather on incidents such as drownings, homicides, missing persons and disasters.

The people I work with are the best people in law enforcement. Their training is top notch and they have state of the art equipment. We constantly look at new ways to prevent crime and continually work with the youth of the community to give them the message that drugs and crime do not lead to happiness.

It is the work we do that will lead to a better tomorrow for all of the people here in Troup County. I believe that and my people believe that. I hope that you will continue to work with us to give us that chance to make Troup County even better in the future than it is right now.

Sincerely,

Donny Turner,
Sheriff, Troup County
