About Us

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office was the first sheriff’s office in Georgia to become a state certified law enforcement agency; and to place the Sex Offender Registry on the internet. The Sheriff’s Office is located 30 miles northeast of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is committed to providing our community with deputies and staff who are professional, efficient, and well-trained with access to the most up-to-date technology. The Sheriff’s Office is home to more than 600 sworn deputies and 175 non-sworn civilian employees. Gwinnett County deputies have a wide range of responsibilities, such as transporting inmates, conducting investigations, serving civil paperwork and arrest warrants, and assisting local agencies with law enforcement duties or emergencies. Civilian personnel are a significant asset to the Sheriff’s Office because they assist in all five divisions: Sheriff’s Administration Division, Jail Administration Division, Jail Operations Division, Field Operations Division, and Court Services Division. As demands rise, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office will strive to maintain the highest law enforcement standards possible
