Georgia continues to grieve the senseless killing of Sgt. Chris Fisher in Warm Springs last week. As we hold his wife, children, and fellow officers in our hearts and prayers, I have ordered flags to be lowered at the State Capitol and Meriwether, Fayette, and Heard Counties tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8, in honor of his selfless service.

Some losses hit differently. This is one of those.

We will always remember Sergeant Fisher as a law enforcement officer, a friend, a brother, a dad, and someone who will always be a part of the Fayette County community.

For seven years, Fisher wore the badge of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. For seven years, we had the privilege of working beside him, getting to know him, sharing good days and difficult ones, and building the kind of friendships and bonds that only those who serve together can truly understand.

Fisher dedicated his life to serving others. He answered the call when it mattered most and ultimately made the greatest sacrifice a law enforcement officer can make.

Rest easy, Sgt. Fisher. Your watch is over, but your service and sacrifice will live on forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his brothers and sisters at the Warm Springs Police Department, and every person fortunate enough to have known and worked alongside him.

Our team had a great time visiting Harp’s Crossing Christian School for First Responder Day! Our deputies were excited to spend the day with the students and talk about what we do. Thank you so much for having us!

The Gold Shield Foundation of Metro Atlanta showed up for one of our own today.

After a motorcycle accident left Deputy Miller facing time away from work, the Gold Shield Foundation stepped in to provide financial support to help Deputy Miller and his family. We are incredibly grateful for organizations like Gold Shield that stand behind our law enforcement officers and their families when they need it most.

Please keep Deputy Miller and his family in your prayers as he continues to recover. 🙏

We’re excited to have Michael Stuart joining us as the emcee for the 3rd Annual Bootleggers & Badges Gala!

With a career that has taken him from radio stations across the country to stages, studios, television sets, and event venues, Michael brings years of experience and a voice you may recognize from commercials, animation, travel videos, video games, and nationally syndicated radio.

Today, Michael is the owner of Michael Stuart Productions, where he provides voice-over, commercial production, live emceeing, and on-camera talent for clients nationwide. He’s also an agency-represented actor whose credits include feature films, television, short films, and national commercials for brands such as Amazon, Home Depot, AT&T, BMW, Rooms To Go, and Bridgestone Golf.

But perhaps what makes Michael the perfect fit for our event goes beyond his experience behind the microphone. Michael is also a Star of Life Award recipient after helping save the life of a man who suffered a traumatic accident by using a belt as a tourniquet—a reminder that serving others has always been at the heart of who he is.

We’re thrilled to have Michael bringing his energy, personality, and experience to the stage for an incredible evening supporting the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office Foundation!
