Paulding Sheriff Announces Georgia Sheriffs’ Association Drive

PAULDING COUNTY, GA — Responding to the increasing number of residents wanting to assist law enforcement officials and build a stronger partnership in the fight against crime, Sheriff Gary Gulledge announced recently that Paulding County citizens are being invited to become Honorary Members of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association, or 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 Gulledge. “The funding is vital to helping us carry out our mission of making our communities safer places to live, work, and play.”
