Sheriff Begins Holiday Patrols

Now through the end of December, Bartow County Sheriff's Office is operating road blocks and increasing patrols.

Get ready for the holidays, including increased traffic and as a result, a higher law enforcement presence.

officials say deputies, beginning yesterday, will be conducting public safety checkpoints—road blocks—and increased and concentrated patrols in some areas for the rest of the month.

"The Patrol Division will be aggressively patrolling for alcohol- or drug-impaired drivers during this potentially dangerous time of year to be on the roadways," the press release states. "The goal of Sheriff Clark Millsap is for every citizen traveling throughout Bartow County to arrive safely at their destinations and be home for the holidays. This patrol mission is set forth to safely and responsibly accomplish this goal."
