The operation, which required meticulous planning and close coordination among various law enforcement agencies, represents a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to combat criminal street gangs within our community. In August 2023, the GCSO Special Investigations Section uncovered an element of the Surenos criminal street gang engaged in trafficking firearms and a substantial quantity of narcotics across Georgia. Through a combination of physical and electronic surveillance, undercover operations, collaboration with cooperating individuals and confidential sources, as well as skilled interviewing and interrogation techniques, the investigation revealed the group's connections to the Mexican Drug Cartels.

Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office Chief Cleophas Atwater emphasized the importance of safeguarding the citizens of Georgia, “The GCSO recognizes the right of every individual to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm.” he stated. “Our dedicated Special Investigations Section, which includes the Gang Unit, has demonstrated exceptional commitment and expertise in addressing these challenges, and we commend their outstanding efforts.” "Guns, drugs, and violence are unfortunately all too common tools of the drug trafficking organizations operating in our communities,” said Robert J. Murphy, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Atlanta Division Special Agent. “Cases like this clearly demonstrate the resolve of the DEA to hold violent drug traffickers accountable." Gwinnett County District Attorney Chief Assistant John Melvin said, "This case is emblematic of the significant danger that criminal street gangs pose to our communities. Today we are safer because of the excellent work of the GCSO and our partner agencies. Now, this office will undertake the arduous task of ensuring that these defendants remain off the streets and are held accountable for their actions.” The GCSO Special Investigations Section remains steadfast in its commitment to pursuing individuals who pose a danger to the community. We extend our gratitude to our law enforcement partners for their collaboration, which has been instrumental in ensuring the successful prosecution of those involved in criminal activities that threaten the safety of our community.

< Back HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK EFSTRATION, GWINNETT COUNTY SHERIFF KEYBO TAYLOR AND JUVENILE COURT JUDGE ROBERT WALLER APPLAUD INCLUSION OF RYDC FUNDS IN STATE BUDGET GCSO Mar 7, 2024 News Release (Gwinnett County, Ga., March 7, 2024) – The establishment of a Regional Youth Detention Center (RYDC) in Gwinnett County is crucial for alleviating the strain on law enforcement officials, court representatives, and key stakeholders within the juvenile system. With one of the largest populations in Georgia, implementing a new RYDC will play a pivotal role in enhancing agency manpower and providing substantial support to troubled adolescents. Today, House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration, Gwinnett County Sheriff Keybo Taylor, and Juvenile Court Judge Robert Waller applauded the inclusion of $3.8 million in the state’s FY 25 budget to begin development of an RYDC. HB 916, the FY 25 budget, passed the house today in a bipartisan vote. Currently, Gwinnett does not have its own RYDC, forcing juvenile intake officers to utilize RYDCs in neighboring jurisdictions such as Hall or Cobb counties. "I want to thank Governor Kemp for including these important funds in his FY 25 budget proposal and House Appropriations Chairman Matt Hatchett for keeping those funds in the House version," said Majority Leader Efstration. "Funding for a long-deserved RYDC in Gwinnett County represents a major step towards keeping our communities safer and ensuring our law enforcement officers have the tools necessary for success." “The introduction of a RYDC will yield a multitude of advantages for our community,” said Sheriff Keybo Taylor. “Gwinnett law enforcement will be accommodated by eliminating the requirement to transport juveniles across counties. This initiative is especially significant for single-parent, minority, and at-risk households, offering local resources, reducing the risk of behavioral issues, and fostering family reunification.” “The Juvenile Court enthusiastically supports the development of the proposed Gwinnett RYDC. Having children housed near their homes, the court and treatment providers will make for better outcomes for them, their families, and the community,” said Juvenile Court Judge Robert Waller. “The new facility affords a unique opportunity for Gwinnett County and the state of Georgia to build a secure and humane detention center that will be a model for the entire country. We support the concurrent development of community-based treatment and supervision programs that will reduce the number of children detained and the length of stay for those who must be held.” Governor Kemp is to be commended on the inclusion of funds to address this matter. Gwinnett County has an obligation to provide juvenile offenders with county-funded programming and assessments to rehabilitate through the development of educational, vocational, social, emotional, and basic life skills. HB 916, the FY 25 budget, will now go to the Senate for further deliberation. More information about the budget can be found at legis.ga.gov . ### Previous Next
