Window Tint Removed

Working through the P.A.C.T program, Social Circle DPS has taken another step toward removing barriers between the officers and the public by removing the window tint on patrol cars.  The tint created a visual barrier and we want our citizens to know that our officers are approachable and friendly.


 

Revised Spring and Summer P.A.C.T. Schedule

effective March 19, 2012

The Department of Public Safety has reserved the community room for a standing P.A.C.T. meeting on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. For Spring and Summer, we are combining the General Meeting and the Zone Meetings.  All citizens from all zones are welcomed and encouraged to participate.  Zone officers will be available to answer specific zone questions.

 

P.A.C.T. meetings are a great way for officers and citizens to share information, get to know each other, and find out what's happening in particular neighborhoods.  Your zone officer can help you set up a Neighborhood Watch Program and offer other services to improve and enhance the quality of life in your neighborhood. 

 

P.A.C.T. focuses on life within the community and how the community can be proactive rather than reactive against crime. We can work together to make life in Social Circle the best it can be for all of us. Come join us in our effort to maintain the best quality of life that is a trademark of the Greatest Little Town in Georgia.

DeKalb pair arrested in Social Circle homicide

By David Ibata
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

8:07 p.m. Friday, May 11, 2012

Two DeKalb County men have been arrested in connection with the death of a third man whose body was discovered as firefighters extinguished a brush fire in Social Circle, authorities said Friday.

Corey Thomas, 20, and Antonio Jones, 24, have been charged with the murder of Akili Jabari Stewart, according to a news release from the Social Circle Police Department and GBI.

The two agencies and the DeKalb County Police Department and Georgia State Fire Marshal’s office have been investigating Stewart’s death since March 30, officials said.

The 36-year-old victim’s body was found in a burning field late the night of March 29 near Ga. 278 and I-20. Preliminary autopsy results revealed that Stewart died of gunshot wounds.

A motive for the killing was not disclosed Friday.
