Reserve Officer Program

The Reserve Officer Program grants POST-certified police officers the ability to volunteer their time to work alongside Sugar Hill City Marshals. The purpose of the program is to help expand Marshal services and assist existing staff. Members of the Reserve Officer Program provide additional staffing at community events, assist with patrol operations, and perform other assignments as needed within the Sugar Hill Marshal’s Office. Reserve Officers meet the same criteria and requirements as the City Marshals.

The City of Sugar Hill has entered into a contract with Paradigm Security to provide extra patrols for the city. They patrol residential communities and businesses within the city limits and are often a deterrent to potential crimes enacted in our city. The city has been monitoring areas of concern where incidents have occurred and we share this data with Paradigm Security and Gwinnett County on a regular basis.

Sugar Hill residents pay taxes for Gwinnett County Police and Fire protection. Gwinnett County will remain the primary first responder agency in the city.

Paradigm Security officers are not first responders; they are not licensed, equipped, or authorized to respond in such a manner.

What is Paradigm Security?

Paradigm is responsible for assessing, patrolling, and providing an enhanced public safety presence within city limits. Paradigm Security officers are unarmed and will notify the Gwinnett County Police Department in the event of emergent and non-emergent incidents. In addition, Paradigm’s officers will report any activity to the Marshal’s Office.
