April 16, 2005 - Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren addressed the Cobb GOP Breakfast on Saturday. Sheriff Warren spoke on the recent Fulton County Courthouse shooting along with issues addressing the Cobb Sheriff's department.
One issue needing attention is the expansion of the Cobb County jail facility. The facility is currently at 1950 beds for approximately 2200 inmates. The expansion is one of the projects proposed for funding by the new SPLOST tax referendum.
The proposal is for $10 million over the next 4-5 years for an additional 500 beds.
Sheriff Warren also addressed Cobb's integration efforts with Homeland Security initiatives for improved communications between first responders.
In response to a question, Sheriff Warren also cited a correlation between the increase in illegal immigration into Cobb County and the increase in meth amphetamine activity in the metro Atlanta area.
