Media release from Floyd County, GA:
The Floyd County Commission recognized Floyd County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Dennis Noles during its May 12 meeting for going above and beyond the call of duty while responding to a recent emergency call.
On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, officers were dispatched to a shots-fired call that resulted in an injury. Deputy Noles had just ended his shift but responded to the call and was the first officer to arrive on scene.
Upon arrival, Deputy Noles located the victim and immediately began providing lifesaving first aid. He assessed the gunshot entry and exit wounds, packed both wounds with gauze and applied direct pressure to slow the bleeding while awaiting the arrival of EMS.
“We are proud to recognize the heroic work of Deputy Noles today,” Floyd County Commission Chair Rhonda Wallace said. “We’re also very proud to recognize our Public Works staff, our police and Sheriff’s Office and our Salvation Army this week.”
During the meeting, the board recognized and presented proclamations for Public Works Week, National Law Enforcement Memorial Week and National Salvation Army Week.
In other business, commissioners approved a proposal to identify, inventory and document contents inside the Floyd County Historic Courthouse as part of the ongoing insurance claim process.
During the caucus session, Facilities Director Ryan Davis told commissioners that demolition has been completed at the Historic Courthouse and Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) has been notified that stabilization work is expected to wrap up no later than Friday, May 22. Once that work is complete, Fifth Avenue will be able to safely re-open. Mr. Davis also noted that insurance covers all work being done on the Historic Courthouse, with no involvement of general funds.
Commissioners also approved funding for engineering and roadway design for the Mango Road project.
