3 Coweta County Sheriff's Office employees resign after Flock audit
Three Coweta County Sheriff's Office employees resigned after routine auditing flagged their accounts for administrative review, stepping down before the audit finished and an internal investigation began. The office has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into the cases, and says all Flock users will now get additional training on proper use of the system. The employees have not been identified. It is the second Georgia agency in a fortnight to disclose this pattern, after Savannah placed six employees on leave following its own audit, and it fits the same shape: the misuse was found by the department auditing itself, and the department said so publicly.
