Georgia sheriff oversight

Heard County, Georgia

Ross Henry, Sheriff

Compare with similar counties · Georgia average

Heard County has no independent civilian oversight body for its Sheriff's Office. Georgia has no statewide mandate for civilian oversight of sheriffs; sheriffs are elected constitutional officers (Ga. Const. Art. IX §I, par. III), and the commission has no operational authority over them. The Georgia POST Council (state-level) handles certification and decertification.

Staffing and budget data for Heard County will appear in a future update.
