Henry County Police Department

All of my interactions with the Henry County Police Department, outside of one officer and one dispatch person , was awful. They are so unprofessional and never follow-up on anything. That police department seems to be a,disgrace. I am sure there are some hard working, professional and honest police officers and dispatch personal, I just only had the plesure of meeting one officer and speaking to one dispatch person over the past 5 years I have resided in Henry County. That is a shame considering how much money we pay in city/county tax and how Henry County brag about being one of the best counties to live in. We need a better police department as well as a better county animal shelter as the ones we have are such a disappointment to say the least!!!!

I try very hard to be a good person and treat others with kindness! Yesterday, I returned home from the store and could not close my door on the driver's side. I stood out there for good little while , before calling my husband to help. He fumbled with that door for a minute trying to get it to shut. Finally, he got it to shut, and notice the gap in the top of the window. Clearly the door was tampered with at one of the stores I visited. I called both stores to see if there was any kind of security cameras outside in the parking lot. The one store told me I had to have a police report to view the footage. The other did not have a camera in the parking lot at all. I call the police to file a report and an officer came out to my house. I was clearly upset about my car and was not in the mood for nonsense. I have only lived in my residence for a little more than a year and I am not impressed with this area. My front yard has been vandalized and my interaction with the school resource deputy at Ola was less than stellar. My battery died while waiting to pick up my son and this nice deputy would not help me at all. The Cook's pest control guy got stuck in my drive way, he was blocking traffic a little and the police had to come help him out. Once again this officer was cold, nasty to me and the pest control guy. Friendly to those that decided to be noisy, they were laughing , joking and he did not mind explaining the situation to them--clearly he knew most of them. My experience with Henry County Police in the McDonough area has been heartbreaking, discriminative and I don't feel welcomed here at all. I wish my feelings were just some emotional stereotype that I was all in my head, but I assure you, I am right! Police officers should treat all citizens fairly, without bias and be ready to serve the community with dignity and respect. The officer that came to my house yesterday treating me like a criminal, for not knowing when my door was damaged. I have been driving the car for 6 years and have never had a problem with the door. It took a lot of force to damage the door like that and his job should be protect and serve with due process. I realize that that door is a small issue to him, but the bigger issue is his interactions with minorities!!!!

This place is the best. They got rid of the Cherry Coke in the vending machines, but everything else is great.nn#Sweepstakes

I have been trying for a few weeks to reach someone in the Henry County Police Department who can provide information on when they will honor their local fallen officers during National Police Week in Henry County. I know it is held in May, however, a date is needed. I spoke with people in Internal Affairs and the Chief of Police office and no one seems aware of this event held yearly. The website does not have a calendar of events that I could fine. A response would be greatly appreciated.

Love the Facebook 9:00 post! Hilarious! Great and friendly staff.
