🚔👏 Congratulations to Officer Baucom on 50 DUI Arrests! 👏🚔

The Calhoun Police Department would like to recognize Officer Baucom for reaching an impressive milestone of 50 DUI arrests! 🏆

This accomplishment reflects his proactive approach to law enforcement, strong work ethic, and commitment to keeping impaired drivers off our roadways. Every impaired driver removed from the road is another step toward making our community safer. 🚓💙

What makes this milestone even more special is that earlier that morning, Officer Baucom mentioned he needed just one more DUI arrest to reach 50. He also noted that DUI arrests can be more challenging during daytime patrol, but they are certainly possible. That same day, he proved just that by making his 50th DUI arrest!

Officer Baucom's initiative, determination, and dedication to traffic safety set an outstanding example for his fellow officers.

👏 Thank you, Officer Baucom, for your hard work and continued commitment to protecting the citizens of Calhoun. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement!

💙 Driving impaired is never worth the risk. Drive sober and help us keep Calhoun safe!

On August 31, 2026, Sergeant Jeremy Thompson and his K-9 partner, Logan, responded to assist in locating an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who had wandered into a wooded area.

After family members had spent several hours searching for their loved one, Sergeant Thompson and K-9 Logan went to work. Thanks to their teamwork and exceptional tracking skills, they were able to successfully locate the missing man in less than 10 minutes! 🐕‍🦺👏

What was a frightening and stressful situation for the family ended with a positive outcome thanks to their quick response and dedication.

🚨 ROCKTOBER FEST UPDATE 🎸

After meeting with public safety officials and closely monitoring the forecast and potential impacts of the approaching hurricane, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Rocktober Fest scheduled for this Saturday, October 10.

🌬️ While we remain hopeful that conditions may not be as severe as currently anticipated, the potential for dangerous winds is our primary concern. With hundreds of tents, inflatables, vendors, equipment, and attendees expected downtown, we cannot safely move forward with the event given the uncertainty.

📅 Although a rain date was not originally planned, we have identified Saturday, October 24, as a potential rescheduled date, pending approval of the required GDOT permits. For now, we are working toward that date and encourage everyone to plan accordingly.

📢 A public announcement will be released soon, and we will share additional details as they become available.

Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our community, vendors, staff, and attendees. 💙+
