🌮☀️ Another great day at the Henry County Public Safety Summer Camp! ☀️🌮

Today was Taco Tuesday, and our campers enjoyed a special lunch served by some familiar faces! Members of our administrative team, command staff, and even Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett stopped by to roll up their sleeves and spend time with the kiddos.

From sharing laughs over lunch to making memories throughout the day, we always enjoy opportunities to connect with the next generation. And thankfully, we got all the fun in outside before the rain decided to make an appearance! 🌦️

These moments are what community engagement is all about—building relationships, creating positive experiences, and showing our young people that public safety is about people first.

We’re having a blast and looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow!

🚨☀️ CAMP IS OFFICIALLY IN SESSION! ☀️🚨

Today marked the first day of the Henry County Public Safety Summer Camp, where we’ve partnered with Henry County Parks & Recreation and several public safety agencies to give local students an exciting, hands-on week of learning, adventure, and fun!

Day One was all about our animal handlers and big trucks, and the campers got an up-close look at some of the incredible work being done across public safety. Students spent time with members of our SWAT Team, K-9 Unit, and Special Investigations Section, learning about their roles, exploring equipment, asking questions, and making memories along the way.

The smiles, excitement, and curiosity we saw today are exactly what this camp is all about—building connections, inspiring future leaders, and showing our young people the many ways public servants work to keep our community safe.

We’re just getting started and can’t wait to see what the rest of the week has in store!

Building strong partnerships helps build stronger communities.

Recently, our Background and Recruiting team had the opportunity to welcome members of the U.S. Army Recruiting Team from McDonough to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. The visit provided an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and discuss the many ways we can continue supporting and serving our community together.

We were especially proud to recognize the many HCSO team members who have served or continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces. Their dedication to service extends beyond the military and continues through their commitment to protecting and serving the citizens of Henry County.

At HCSO, we remain committed to strengthening community ties and fostering relationships with organizations that share our dedication to service, leadership, and making a positive impact.

Thank you to the U.S. Army Recruiting Team for stopping by. We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and serve alongside one another.

We proudly welcomed 14 new hires to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office during our latest swearing-in ceremony, this week.

Each oath represents a commitment to service, integrity, professionalism, and the safety of our community. As these men and women begin their journey with the agency, we are excited to see the impact they will make in Henry County.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming our newest team members to the HCSO family. 💛🖤

This week’s spotlight goes to Deputy Sirdarius Benton on successfully completing Instructor School at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC)! 👏🏾

We are proud to add Deputy Benton to our growing list of qualified law enforcement professionals dedicated to training, mentoring, and developing the next generation of public safety leaders.

Congratulations, Deputy Benton, on this outstanding achievement and continued commitment to excellence, professionalism, and service. 💛🖤

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. 🇺🇸
Their courage, selflessness, and dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

This Memorial Day, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office proudly joins our community in reflecting with gratitude and reverence for those who gave everything for our country.

We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful.

Today, Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office team had the pleasure of spending time at one of our favorite community events of the year — the 49th Annual Geranium Festival in downtown McDonough! 🌸

From great conversations and community connections to enjoying the energy of the square, it was an incredible day celebrating the people who make Henry County special. And if you’ve ever visited the HCSO booth at the festival, you already know it’s always one of the coolest stops of the day! 😎

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, take photos, and show support. We are proud to serve such an amazing community! 🖤💛

Last week, as part of National Correctional Officers Week, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office hosted a Health & Wellness Fair focused on investing in the well-being of the men and women who serve our agency every day.

From physical health resources to wellness education and community partners, the event served as a reminder that caring for our employees is a priority — not just during a special week, but year-round.

Supporting employee wellness aligns directly with one of Sheriff Reginald B. Scandrett’s Top Six priorities: Empower and Engage Employees. A stronger, healthier team allows us to continue serving our community with professionalism, excellence, and care.

Thank you to all of our vendors, partners, and employees who participated and helped make the event a success. Your service matters, and so does your well-being.

Today, we honor the strength, sacrifice, love, and dedication of mothers everywhere — especially the incredible mothers who serve within and throughout our community.

Whether balancing long shifts with bedtime stories, protecting the community while nurturing their families, or serving as mother figures through mentorship and guidance, your impact reaches far beyond the badge.

To every mom, grandmother, bonus mom, guardian, and mother figure — thank you for the countless ways you lead with compassion, resilience, and love each and every day.

From our Henry County Sheriff’s Office family to yours, Happy Mother’s Day! 💐💙
