Yesterday, our community came together in observance of Patriot Day and the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Many gathered on the steps of the Spalding County Courthouse as local leaders and public safety officials shared words of remembrance and paid tribute to the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and all who served in the aftermath.

Members of the Griffin Police Department and Griffin Fire-Rescue also joined public safety agencies from across Georgia for a memorial climb at Stone Mountain. Wearing their full gear, they climbed in honor of the firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.

Through reflection, remembrance, and acts of tribute, Griffin joined communities across our nation in honoring their courage and sacrifice. We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Officer Zuke reported for book fair duty this week!

He stopped by Crescent Elementary, Griffin GA to help Ms. Connor, the school librarian, at the checkout counter, and may have discovered a few good reads along the way! We always enjoy opportunities to support our schools, share a few smiles, and connect with our youngest citizens. Thank you, Ms. Connor and Crescent Elementary, for letting Officer Zuke join the fun!

We 💙 our friends at Orrs Elementary School!

Building relationships with our youth is an important part of serving our community. Each week, Officers with the City of Griffin Police Department visit The Griffin-Spalding County School System, Griffin GA to connect with students, offer encouragement, and share lessons that help keep them safe.

Officer Zuke recently visited Orrs Elementary School, where he read a story that taught students how to make smart and safe decisions while playing outside.

Thank you to Orrs Elementary School for your continued partnership and for welcoming our Officers into the classroom. These positive connections help build trust today and contribute to a safer, stronger Griffin for years to come.

National Dog Day is the perfect time to introduce two of Griffin’s newest four-legged public safety partners: GPD K-9 Bella and Griffin Fire-Rescue K-9 Delilah!

Bella is a 2-year-old Labrador trained in electronic detection and emotional support. Working alongside Investigator Kevin Hill, Bella can locate hidden digital storage devices including cell phones, SD cards, computers, tablets, USB drives, and cameras that may contain critical evidence, particularly in investigations involving crimes against children. She can also provide a calming presence for children and adults affected by abuse or trauma.

Bella was purchased and donated to the Griffin Police Department by the National Computer Forensics Institute, a division of the United States Secret Service. She received specialized training through Jordan Detection K9.

Delilah is a 1½-year-old Labrador Retriever trained to detect trace amounts of more than 60 ignitable liquids, even after a fire has burned. Alongside Captain Brent Burke, a fire investigator with 26 years of experience, Delilah will help Griffin Fire-Rescue investigators identify evidence and determine how fires began.

These specialized K-9s bring valuable skills that strengthen investigations, support victims, and help our public safety professionals serve the Griffin community. Please join us in welcoming Bella and Delilah, and wishing them a happy !

You may notice Griffin Fire-Rescue crews inspecting and testing fire hydrants throughout the City. This routine maintenance helps ensure our hydrants are operational, accessible, and ready to provide the water needed during an emergency.

Regular hydrant inspection and testing also help Griffin Fire-Rescue maintain its ISO Class 1 rating, the highest Public Protection Classification awarded by the Insurance Services Office. This distinction reflects the strength of our community's fire protection capabilities, including emergency response, water supply, equipment, training, and other critical resources.

During testing, changes in water flow can stir up naturally occurring sediment within water lines and may temporarily cause discoloration. If you experience discolored water or need to report an issue, please contact the City of Griffin Water & Wastewater Department at 770-229-6424.
