My Kind of Dad Visits the DCSO

Sheriff Tim Pounds and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are proud recognize My Kind of Dad. This family-run business was started by Michelle Williams and her husband, Jay. Along with creating balloon displays for parties, weddings and other functions, they give back to the community by providing inmates with a chance to connect with their children through the gift of a custom balloon bear and keepsake box. For parents who are incarcerated, these gifts help to show the children that they are loved, even though their parent can’t be with them. Each parent is encouraged to write a letter to their child, which is then placed in the keepsake box.

The inmates who were selected to take part in the program are currently participating in the Douglas County Adult Detention Reentry Program. This program, started in 2018 by Sheriff Pounds, aims to combat the recidivism rate in Douglas County. Inmates who are selected for the program, and who will be released into the Douglas County community, are given contact information for job placement, housing, transportation, and other resources. While they are incarcerated, inmates also meet with life coaches, and learn skills that will help them get jobs once they are released. One of the great things about this program is that it’s completely free. The resource providers donate their time in service to their community.

For information about My Kind of Dad, contact Michelle Williams at http://mykindofdad.com/. For more information about our reentry program, contact Lisa Williams at lwilliams@sheriff.douglas.ga.us.

DCSO Receives Grant for Traffic Enforcement

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office

October 24, 2019

PRESS RELEASE

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Awarded $20,000.00 Traffic Enforcement Grant

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced today that it has been awarded a major traffic enforcement grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) in Atlanta. We received the grant in recognition of our lifesaving work as the coordinating agency of GOHS’s Western Regional Traffic Enforcement Network. There are sixteen traffic enforcement networks across the state that help enforce Georgia’s year-round safety belt, speed and impaired driving campaigns.

“This is our way of supporting the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office through its continued leadership via Coordinator Dep. Matthew Atkins and the Western Regional traffic enforcement network,” said GOHS Law Enforcement Services Director Roger Hayes. “We want to make sure they can continue their region-wide efforts to protect Georgia motorists from drunk and otherwise dangerous drivers. They’ve proven their dedication and this grant serves not only as recognition for that hard work, but as means for continuing the GOHS mission of reducing crashes, injuries and fatalities on our roads.”

The Western Regional Traffic Enforcement Network includes law enforcement agencies in eight counties, which include Douglas, Carroll, Haralson, Heard, Troup, Coweta, Meriwether, and Paulding Counties.

Sheriff Tim Pounds and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are very pleased and appreciative to receive this grant from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. This grant will assist and help along with the other agencies in the Western Regional Network by keeping our roadways safe for the citizens of each county.

The GOHS grant awards $20,000.00 to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, with half to support the activities of the traffic enforcement network and half to be spent on traffic safety equipment for our agency. The coordinator in the Western Regional traffic enforcement network region will coordinate year-round waves of high visibility, concentrated patrols, multi-jurisdictional road checks and sobriety checkpoints as a partner in campaigns such as Click It or Ticket, Operation Zero Tolerance, and the Thunder Taskforce.

For more information on the award, contact Dep. Matthew Atkins at 770-942-2121 or by email at matkins@sheriff.douglas.ga.us. For more information on the grant program, call 404-656-6996 or visit www.gahighwaysafety.org.
