Fulton County Sheriff Takes New Steps to Curb Crime Phil Kent (Full Article Link in Bio)... The new sheriff of Georgia’s most populous county Fulton is speaking out & takingactionwhen it comes toaddressingthe rising violent crime rate in the Atlanta portion of the county. Approximately 41% of all Fulton County Jail detainees were arrested bycity of Atlantapolice officers, heemphasizes.The murder rate in Atlanta is up 59% this year and it’s only May. There has also been an increase in other crimes against persons. Any notion of removing incarceration as a penalty for certain code violations poses a risk to public safety. #publicsafetymatters #fcsostrong #stongertogether #sheriffpatlabat

Fulton County Sheriff’s Office Remembers K-9 Duke The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office lost a retired K-9 deputy this week. K-9 Duke, a 13 and a half-year-old Black Labrador Retriever, died Monday. Duke retired almost two years ago after 5 years of loyal service under the guidance of his handler, Sergeant Jacqueline Underwood. K-9 Duke was trained by the United States Marine Corps as Explosive Ordnance Detection (EOD) canine. Duke served one tour in Afghanistan and was retired... by the Marines. On May 16, 2013, Duke officially became a Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy and was partnered with Sgt. Underwood until 2018. Sgt. Underwood and K-9 Duke would search for explosives and investigate suspicious packages. Duke could also locate fire arms and ammunition. In his time with the Sheriff’s Office, K-9 Duke assisted with dignitary protection details, security sweeps of major event venues, and was often called upon to assistance to other law enforcement agencies. K-9 Duke was an excellent partner for Sergeant Underwood. Duke was always excited to take on the next challenge. The pair earned certifications from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA), maintained K-9 certification, and the team received numerous accolades over the years to include the prestigious Fulton County F.O.C.U.S. Award in the category of Safety and Security. The Sergeant often took him to schools to teach students about Duke’s training. The students were fascinated to learn how special canines like Duke work with law enforcement to keep the County safe. Around the Sheriff’s Office and in the Fulton County Courthouse, staff especially judges and other officials grew accustomed to greeting Sgt. Underwood and her partner Duke. While Duke knew when he it was time to be focused on the job, he absolutely loved meeting people. Duke enjoyed retirement with Sergeant Underwood and her family. Although he really missed coming to work with the Sergeant every day, he took well to her new younger partner, K-9 Zack and showed him the ropes. K-9 Duke was always charismatic and will be remembered for his intelligence, energy, and good temperament. Perhaps, what may stand out is how he loved to have his paw held. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is grateful for Duke’s service. He was an all-around good dog.

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, Georgia 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 Ke...nny 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.
