Richmond County Sheriff’s Office is proactively safeguarding residents amid incoming rain, freezing temperatures, and potential ice by conducting welfare checks on vulnerable individuals.​
Welfare Checks
Deputies and the Homeless Outreach Team are inspecting high-risk spots like abandoned houses, parking garages, wooded areas, and bridge underpasses to assist those in need. Report concerns via dispatch at 706-821-1080 for a prompt response.​
Warming Center
May Park at 622 4th Street serves as a key warming center, staffed by sheriff and marshal personnel plus community partners for intake, supplies, and support. It aligns with broader shelter options during this weather event.
