Sheriff Issues Appeal to Citizens in Fight Against Crime

Responding to the increasing number of citizens wanting to assist law enforcement officials and build a stronger partnership in the fight against crime,
Sheriff Gary Gulledge announced today that Paulding County citizens are being invited to become Honorary Members of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association (GSA).

GSA membership appeals go out in the mail shortly. Individuals choosing to join the voluntary program can do so for as little as $20 a year, while businesses can show their support for a $50 contribution. The funding provides critically important technical resources, training, and legislative support on key criminal justice issues. Contributions are tax-deductible and unlike other organizations in our state, the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association does not solicit membership by telephone.

The membership program was formed to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support to more effective law enforcement and to help local law enforcement officers protect the lives and property of citizens.

“With government funding becoming increasingly difficult to secure, the membership drive has taken on greater importance than ever before,” said Sheriff Gulledge. “The funding is vital to helping us carry out our mission of making our communities safer places to live, work, and play.”

Individuals that do not receive a membership appeal and would like more information can do so by contacting the GSA at the following address or on the internet at www.georgiasheriffs.org.

“As the need for building stronger public-private law enforcement partnerships in this country continues to escalate, programs such as this continue to grow in importance,” said Gulledge. “I encourage everyone receiving a membership appeal to consider joining forces with us by becoming an Honorary Member. It is a valuable investment in the future.” If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact the Georgia Sheriff’s Association at 770-914-1076 or the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office at 770-443-3010.
