The Stephens County Sheriff’s Office and the Toccoa Police Department are teaming up with local churches to present a weekend, October 10-12, full of activities as part of Faith and Blue, a nationwide initiative that brings law enforcement and local faith-based organizations together to strengthen community relationships.

Toccoa Police Chief Bruce Carlisle is excited to bring this back to the community for another year.
