The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce the successful completion of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association’s voluntary Office of Sheriff Accreditation Program — a significant milestone and a first in the history of the agency. Under the leadership of Sheriff Fred Cole, the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office is now one of only 21 sheriff’s offices statewide to earn this distinction. As part of the process, the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office completed an extensive self-assessment, submitted supporting documentation, and underwent a comprehensive review conducted by trained assessors from other sheriff’s offices across the state. Beginning Thursday, February 5, 2026, all registered sex offenders who move into Coffee County, change addresses, change employment, or are arrested within the county will be published in the Coffee County legal organ. These notifications will also continue to be shared through the Sheriff’s Office social media platforms, the Sheriff’s Office mobile app, and the official website at coffeesheriffga.gov.
