Fulton County Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of two outstanding deputies Two Fulton County Sheriff’s deputies were killed in traffic accident near Augusta, Ge...orgia this morning. The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the accident. The two deputies were on duty in a patrol car on Interstate 20 in Columbia County near Grovetown, Georgia. The fatal accident claimed the lives of Deputy Anthony White, a seven year veteran who joined the agency in December 2012 and Deputy Kenny Ingram who would have marked his 15-years of service in October. Both were assigned to the Law Enforcement Division of the Sheriff’s Office. No one else was in the vehicle. Chaplains who volunteer with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office are offering grief counseling to the deputies’ family members and colleagues. Sheriff Ted Jackson said, These men had a profound sense of duty throughout their distinguished careers with this agency and for us and this county, the loss of these deputies is devastating. The deputies were on their way to pick up an inmate to transfer to the Fulton County Jail. No additional details are available at this time.

We will never forget those who ran into danger to save others. So many sacrifices were made that day. We remember loved ones lost, families changed forever, and brave colleagues who sustained injuries years and years to follow yet they continued to serve with pride. On this 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, we also thank Fulton County citizens for allowing us to serve you. It is an honor. #Neverforget #September11 #911Remembered Fulton County Government FGTV - Fulton Government Television

Fulton County Jail Uses New Tech to Improve Body Searches With Reduced Infringement Upon Privacy On Monday, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office began utilizing a whole body scanner that employs new technology to secure the Fulton County Jail. Similar to the technology in use by airports across the country, this full body scanner in the booking area of the Fulton County Jail will allow staff to detect any concealed contraband hidden on the persons of arrestees. This non-invas...ive scan by trained technicians will grant arrestees more privacy while enhancing security at the facility. The subject faces away from the X-Ray beam and the process takes 4 seconds which is an upgrade from most devices. The full body scanner will allow for greater social distancing without a risk to security. Specially trained staff will be able to discretely view scans to determine whether a subject is attempting to introduce contraband into the facility. From Lieutenant Derrick Paige: Since operation began Monday, a total of 14 inmates were scanned and no contraband was locatedAs of right now, the body scanner has been of great use. The imagery is extremely great. No issues identified at this time. The machine was installed in May of this year. The Tek84 Intercept’s purpose is to detect objects inserted in the body to smuggle contraband. It is in use by jails, Customs, and other agencies. According to the manufacturer, the Intercept’s scanning beam passes through the person, straight on, the shortest distance through the body. In comparison, previous generation products scan at an angle, requiring the beam to pass through about five inches of additional body tissue (see Diagram). This has a critical effect on image quality and radiation dose. This advantage allows the Intercept to provide better quality images with lower doses than older technology.

We’re giving a special shoutout to Sgt. T. Lowery who recently coordinated the zero-cost makeover of the motor pool interiors. The sergeant learned that a fede...ral agency was donating gently used, surplus furniture to law enforcement agencies. She jumped on the opportunity to upgrade the front office, break room, offices, and even created a conference room. Way to go, Sgt. Lowery! To staff: to book this conference room, please contact Sgt. Lowery. Ha ha! See more

Read all about it! Georgia cocaine trafficker sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Sheriff Jackson on this partnership: This is another example of how partnerships benefit citizens by removing illegal drugs from our streets. It is critical that we continue to collaborate to keep dangerous drugs away from children and families. Fulton County Sheriff’s deputies are dedicated to this important duty and we are grateful to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for its unwavering commitment to this cause."

Sheriff Ted Jackson said it was important to find a way to go ahead with the 2020 Homeless Initiative during the pandemic because those in need should not be forgotten:

Coming up tomorrow August 8th: The 2020 Homeless Initiative updated with special pandemic help for vulnerable residents. COVID means a greater need for assistance & we’re on the case. Sheriff Ted Jackson & staff will join chaplains to give out masks, hygiene kits & hot meals to the homeless on Saturday.

Fulton County Jail Meets Highest Standards to Achieve Health Care Accreditation The Fulton County Jail is now fully accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC). Today’s announcement by the NCCHC states that the Fulton County Jail is 100 percent compliant with all applicable standards. The 39 standards cover the full scope of inmate health care. This means the Fulton County Jail is meeting the highest standards in health care for inmates which be...nefits the community as a whole. Assessors from the NCCHC conducted a thorough on-site review February 24-27, 2020 for initial accreditation of the Fulton County Jail under the NCCHC 2018 Standards for Health Services in Jails. The NCCHC granted accreditation with verification on April 3, 2020. The official announcement was made today. There are 20 important standards: 20 are applicable to this facility and 20 were found to be in compliance. Eighty-five percent or more of the applicable important standards must be met. The Fulton County Jail surpassed that requirement with 100% compliance. Fulton County Sheriff Ted Jackson is complimentary of staff, Fulton County Jail staff and medical provider NaphCare show their commitment every day to making available the best health care possible to inmates while maintaining a safe environment. This is no small feat during the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Fulton County Jail staff continue to maintain high standards and this accreditation distinction from NCCHC is a great achievement. The National Commission on Correctional Health Care is dedicated to improving the quality of correctional health services and helping facilities provide effective and efficient care. NCCHC grew out of a program begun at the American Medical Association in the 1970’s. The NCCHC standards help correctional facilities to improve the health of inmates and the communities to which they return, increase efficiency of their health services delivery, strengthen organizational effectiveness, and reduce their risk of adverse patient outcomes and legal judgments.
