Gwinnett County Sheriff : Sheriff Keybo Taylor

Sheriff Keybo Taylor

 

Sheriff Keybo Taylor was elected Gwinnett County’s first African American Sheriff November 3, 2020. Sheriff Taylor’s illustrious career in law enforcement was marked by many firsts.

A native of Lawrenceville, Georgia, Sheriff Taylor joined the Gwinnett County Police Department in 1983. His 26 years of law enforcement experience included serving in undercover investigations, which encompassed the Criminal Investigations Division and the Special Investigations Section. By 1994, Sheriff Taylor was assigned to the FBI Drug Task Force. In 1995, he became the first African American promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He continued his career as a supervisor in the Uniform Division. Sheriff Taylor also served as a first-line supervisor in Special Operations (COPS Program) and Criminal Investigations (Narcotics Squad). In 2000, Sheriff Taylor was promoted to Lieutenant and served as Unit Commander, leading the Gwinnett County Drug Task Force. By 2007, Sheriff Taylor received his appointment as Major. He was the first African American within the Gwinnett County Police Department to achieve the rank of Major. As Major, he managed both the East and South precincts.

Sheriff Taylor credits a major portion of his career advancement to his educational and professional development. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Mercer University and a master’s degree in public administration from Columbus State University. He received certification in Intermediate, Advanced, Supervision, and Management through the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (P.O.S.T.). Sheriff Taylor is also a Certified General Post Instructor; graduate of the Georgia Law Enforcement Command College Class X, graduate of the DEA Drug Unit Command Academy, and a certified Crisis Intervention Trainer.

Sheriff Taylor took office January 1, 2021. Sheriff Taylor’s first days in office were marked by an end to the 287(g) Program, the dissolution of the litigious Rapid Response Team, the installation of an Anti-Gang Unit, and the implementation of the Trafficking and Child Exploitation Unit.

Sheriff Taylor resides in his hometown of Lawrenceville, GA with Linda, his wife of 36 years. They are the proud parents of two children and three grandchildren.
