COMMUNITY SAFETY ALERT

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office has been made aware of a circulating text thread suggesting potential attacks on African American women “from now through the inauguration.” We have not received any information indicating threats to any group(s) on or after election day.

Hateful discourse such as this aims to instill fear in the community and disrupt us from exercising our constitutional rights. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to protecting all citizens and we will continue to monitor and respond accordingly to all suspicious and threatening behavior.

We will continue collaborating with local, state, and federal authorities to stay current on any potential threats surrounding the general election. Please immediately report any information regarding threats or suspicious behavior to your local law enforcement agency or call the Tip Line at 770.619.6655.
