We have received calls from citizens about a scam. They clam to be calling from your Bank’s Fraud Department. They are accusing the bank tellers of stealing money. They want you to remove your money from the bank, and tell you the bank will try to stop you but don’t listen. They then tell you, they are sending a courier service to pick the money up so that it can be placed into a new account. DO NOT DO THIS. Please pass this information along to your loved ones especially to the elderly, who are the targets.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Carrollton Police Department and the family of Officer Krish during this heartbreaking time.

He is healed and home with Jesus. While we are heartbroken on earth, what a celebration Dustin is having in Heaven.

Chief Richards put it best…..Dustin was the best of us. He was unwavering in his duty, courageous, and faithful until the end.

Please, please continue to pray for the love of his life, Emily, Sgt. Chad Krish (his brother), and his entire family…..blood and blue. 💙

To know him was to love him.

“Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

We extend our gratitude to Senior Chaplain Joey Meeks from the Paulding County Sheriff's Office for delivering invaluable instruction on Officer Resilience. This multi-jurisdictional training class, hosted by the Tallapoosa Police Department, examined the effects of trauma that officers may encounter in the line of duty. The class provided guidance on seeking support and resources for managing traumatic experiences. We are deeply committed to this initiative, seeking to reassure officers that they are not alone and that help is available.
