On December 20, 1853, Fulton County was created out of portions of
Cherokee, Coweta, Fayette, Gwinnett, and Henry counties. This new County
Government would provide law enforcement through the newly created
Sheriff's Department for the next 46 years. Today the Fulton County
Police Department consists of over 400 employees of which 304 are sworn
police officers. Also employed by the police department are more than
150 civilians who provide support in all divisions: Administration;
Communications; North Uniform Patrol; South Uniform Patrol; Major Case
Division and Special Services Section. |
