Law McGee

On behalf of Chief Lawrence McGee and the men and women of the Quitman Police Department, we are heartbroken as we honor the life of Officer Caleb Abney, whose life was tragically cut short in an accident last night in Lowndes County, Georgia.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chief Styrde, his department, and everyone who is grieving this devastating loss. Officer Abney’s service, dedication, and commitment to protecting his community will always be remembered and deeply respected.

In times like this, words never feel like enough, but please know that you are not alone. We stand with you in mourning, in support, and in honoring a life of service that made a lasting impact on so many.
