COFFEE COUNTY

URGENT!

• THIS OFFICE WILL NOT CALL YOU TO LET YOU KNOW A WARRANT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR YOUR ARREST

• Once again, folks, we're receiving multiple reports that a person identifying himself as a local law enforcement officer is contacting Coffee County citizens advising them that they have missed court or jury duty and a warrant has been issued for their arrest.

• Victims are reporting the calls are originating from phone number (912) 551-3995. The caller is even identifying himself using the... names of some former sheriff's office employees. Be advised, these scammers can be very convincing, but it is a scam nonetheless.

• Coffee County deputies and sheriff's office personnel will never contact persons with warrants for any reason, nor will they request payment to avoid service of a warrant.

• If you receive such a call, please hang up and contact local law enforcement or the non-emergency Coffee County 911 line at (912) 384-7675.

A Message from Sheriff Wooten

     I'm Coffee County Sheriff Doyle Wooten. At the Coffee County Sheriff's Department, we have worked diligently to build an office that represents our community and one that works tirelessly to make Coffee County a safer place to live, work, and raise our families. We are proud of what we have accomplished and will continue working toward our vision of reducing crime and decreasing the rate of recidivism, creating a culture of equality and fairness in the workplace, providing our staff with the very best law enforcement training, and continuing to streamline duties toward efficiency and accountability.    

     We are proud of the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office. Our staff, especially the officers who make our community safer and who put themselves in harm’s way every single day, the office personnel who ensure the daily workings of our office run smoothly and efficiently, and the maintenance staff who keep our facility operating at its most optimal level, are to be commended. 

     We are proud to be partners in this effort to help elevate the quality of life for the citizens of Coffee County and are equally proud of our role in helping form the centerpiece of our community. We will continue to build an office that reflects honesty, integrity, availability, transparency, and accountability.
