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.
