Crime Prevention

The Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Office offers programs to help you reduce the chance that you or your children will become a victim of crime.

Through the schools we teach children about stranger danger, Internet safety, and the hazards of drug, alcohol and tobacco use, gang awareness and conflict resolution.

If you would like to set-up a community watch program in your area or would like someone to talk to your community organization about any of the topics we cover in our schools please call (256) 825-4264.
