The
Emanuel County Sheriff's Office is dedicated to a safe community for
all citizens. In the light of recent national events, Sheriff
Stephens
has released the following statement:
Recent events have greatly affected
our nation. We have been forced to face an exponential
increase in our
oldest adversary--violence. We will hearken the call and rise
to the
challenge before us. We are entrusted to protect and serve,
and this
we shall. We are the defenders of freedom on the streets and
country
roads of our county. We will uphold the values of America and
the
people who elected me into office and give everyone a right to feel
safe in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. We must
work
together, hand-in-hand to accomplish this task.
To
quote President George W. Bush:
'Our nation, this
generation, will
lift the dark threat of violence from our people and our
future…We will
not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.'
God bless
you. God bless Georgia.
God bless America.
