To The Residents of Tift County,

I would like to welcome you to our website and thank you for visiting us today. It is our hope this website is helpful to you, the citizens.

The vision of the Tift County Sheriff's Office is for this agency and the citizens of the community to function in unison in the effort to reduce crime, improve relations and enhance the quality of life. Through these efforts, we shall strive to continually reach the highest standards of professionalism and project that image to the community.

Long ago the Georgia Supreme Court said, "The Office of Sheriff comes within the duty to preserve the peace, and protect the lives, property, health and morals of the people." It is with great honor to hold this office and lead the men and women who have this duty.

If there is anything we can do to improve our services to you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Again, thank you for visiting us today.

Sincerely,

Sheriff Gene Scarbrough
