Community Affairs Unit

The Community Affairs Unit is the liaison unit between the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office and the community. This unit attends various community events to close the gap between the community and law enforcement by establishing positive relationships in a non-enforcement capacity. Additionally, it promotes peace, protects lives, and educates our Gwinnett County residents about crime prevention. The Community Affairs Unit is an initiative implemented to develop and create community-based strategies by utilizing restorative justice principles, to enhance economic opportunity, build strong neighborhoods, and ensure a dynamic framework for quality growth and development.

They also serve as a valuable resource in large-scale special events, demonstrating their commitment to public service.
