The Gwinnett County, Georgia, Police Department was formed by tough, honorable men who were brought in to clean up the County after the sheriff made moonshining his personal business.
Late one night in spring of 1964.
Even with the odds against them, the Police department grew into a force feared by the criminals and respected by County citizens.
With a low budget--Officers had to buy their own uniforms, guns, even bullets--the Police had to take anyone with a pulse who could stand upright.
