Paulding Deputy Earns County Commissioners' Public Safety Award

PAULDING COUNTY, GA — A Paulding County Sheriff's Office deputy was awarded a county public safety award this week for his service to the department, according to a news release.

Deputy Bruce Brott, who's been with the department for two years and in law enforcement for seven years, was recognized for the award at Tuesday's Paulding County Board of Commissioners meeting. Brott works in the uniform patrol division.

Several employees wrote letters recognizing Brott for his work and dedication to the sheriff's office, but especially recognized him for his work on the department's jail and records management software transition, the sheriff's office said.

"Bruce came to us from another agency and had previous experience with the software system that we are implementing. He was a vital part of the software transition and helped teach other deputies the system," Sheriff Gary Gulledge said. "We are extremely proud of the job that he does for the sheriff’s office and the citizens of Paulding County."

Brott was presented with a certificate of appreciation from the commissioners, along with a "dinner for two" gift card from Texas Roadhouse, at Tuesday's meeting.
