Congratulations to Katherine Ponder, our wonderful School Resource Officer! Effective 9/15/2022 Deputy Ponder has been promoted from Corporal to Sergeant. We Love Sgt. "Kat" Ponder, and we know you do too!

Sheriff Kile would like to remind the citizens of Screven County about the laws restricting ATVs and UTVs being operated on the roadways of this state. We have experienced a rise in complaints and accidents with injuries involving these vehicles being driven upon the roads in Screven County. Deputies will be contacting persons who violate these laws in an effort to make the roadways safe for all persons to use. Please refer to Chapter 6 of Title 40 of the Georgia Code for all current laws regulating the operation of vehicles on the roadways or contact the sheriff's office with any questions about these laws.

If you, or someone you know, needs help to stop using substances, call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889, or text your zip code to 435748 (HELP4U), or use the SAMHSA’s Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator to get help.

Wednesday- July 13, 2022 The Screven County Sheriff's Office and the Sylvania Police Department were training at our local schools. The deputies and officers train for "Active Shooter Response". This yearly training is to keep our Students, Faculty, and School grounds secure in cases of the unfortunate event that such violence would occur in our community.

Starting Saturday, July 16,2022 every person in every community nationwide can call "988" to reach trained crisis counselors who can help in a mental health, substance use or suicide crisis.
