The Gwinnett County
Sheriff's Department recently uncovered an out of state scam wherein persons had created false letterhead
documents that requested the removal of detainers and the immediate release of an inmate, which was then faxed to the law
enforcement agency. The scam was facilitated through the use of a home computer. We strongly suggest that all agencies utilize
the GCIC/ NCIC System when responding to an outside agency requesting that a hold be placed on inmates, or that a detainers
be removed and the inmate released. Currently, teletype verification is the most effective and secure method of
validating these requests, thus minimizing the potential for improper releases. For additional information you may contact
Captain Melinda Allen of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department at (770)822-3111.
