Police Emerald Society of Southeast Georgia

I’ve been in law enforcement since 1976. I’ve worked dispatch, jail, road, courts, and investigations. My first job was at Charlton County Sheriff’s Office, followed by the Folkston P.D. I then went to the Camden County Sheriff’s Office for three years, earned a B.S. in C.J. for Georgia Southern. I went to the GBI and worked in the Americus and Douglas field offices and Savannah Drug Office, finishing up 15 years at the Kingsland Office. I went back the Camden County Sheriff’s for four years and finished my MPA from Georgia Southern. I worked at the District Attorney’s Office in Brunswick and now have my J.D. from Florida Coastal School of Law. I am currently the Lead Criminal Justice Instructor for Altamaha Technical College and am based at the Golden Isles Career Academy in Brunswick. Background: My family came to Georgia with a couple of others from the border area of North Carolina-Virginia prior to the Revolution. The Harrell part is from England, but the Buie [a sept of Donald] (my grandmother) originated in the western isles of Scotland, and the Drury bit (also grandparents) was Scot-Irish.
