COMMITMENT to our COMMUNITY
Message from Sheriff David Davis
I’m Bibb County Sheriff David Davis and in the information below you’ll find a list of
almost 30 programs coordinated through the Sheriff’s Office for your personal safety, as
well as the safety of your home, business and community. More than half of these deterrent,
guidance and character building programs are geared towards steering and keeping our
youth out of trouble and on the track to success.

a host of ways to connect with us to help keep your community safe, protect your loved
ones, and connect with young people.
