Doss CCSO’s first female Field Training Officer BY LAUREL HUSTER laurel@newnan.com
D
eputy First Class Brittany Doss was recently promoted to be Coweta County Sheriff ’s Office first female Field Training Of-
ficer. Doss has been with the sheriff ’s office since the beginning of 2019 and before that, she was with the Senoia Police Department. She began her career in Henry County in 2015. “It shows that since this is a male-dominated profession, females can do just as good as guys can,” Doss said. “It’s the next step in my career, as I want to be a supervisor on patrol.” Deputy First Class Nathan Mullennix oversees the field training program and said Doss is the first female FTO under the program. He said they currently have nine FTOs, and they try to have three on duty per shift. Mullennix said when they get a new
recruit from an outside agency or someone is promoted from inside the sheriff ’s office, there is a 42-day training program they must complete. He said recruits are shown how CCSO does things, and they learn about criminal law, traffic law and firearms. He said FTOs show the recruits the ropes and make sure that they meet the standards CCSO has in place for officers. “To be an FTO you have to be best of the best, proactive and really know your stuff,” Mullennix said. He said to be a state-certified FTO, candidates have to be law enforcement certified for three years and with their department for two. Mullennix said they have to be certified by the state and are vetted by reviewing their statistics and

We Cancel Timeshares for You Many people believe their timeshares cannot be canceled, but they often can be. Our founder and CEO, Chuck McDowell, has successfully fought in federal court for the right to help timeshare owners — like you — out of their “binding” agreements. Whether you were misled or pressured, you may have an easy exit.
How Does the Cancellation Process Work? COURTESY MIKE SCHREIBER
• Start with a FREE consultation to discuss your needs.
The crowd watches the SummerGrove fireworks show across the lake.
• If we see that the circumstances of your agreement qualify you to exit the timeshare, you’ll be assigned a specialist to walk you through gathering documentation. • Our Resolution Department then works quickly to have your timeshare and related fees permanently terminated. We are able to help most timeshare owners that contact us. You could be one phone call away from complete peace of mind.

Don’t think for another minute that you are stuck with this. What we do is help you cancel your timeshare along with all of the debt and fees associated with it. I guarantee that if we take you on as a client and we don’t cancel your timeshare, you’ll pay nothing! Chuck McDowell, Founder & CEO
ummerGrove resident and Army veteran Mike Schreiber, along with a team of other residents, pulled off their annual Fourth of July fireworks show Saturday, as public shows around the state were canceled. The show was about 45 minutes long, and Schreiber estimates that around 500 people were in attendance. He said he received multiple messages afterward from neighbors who said with so many things being canceled this year because of COVID-19, they were very grateful for the fireworks show. Schreiber said that this was their biggest year yet for the show. His team of other veterans and SummerGrove residents included Dominic Carsale, who served in the Army; Gabe Centenera, who served in the Army; Drew Walters, who served in the Marines; and Robert Negron, who served in the Army. He said in addition to the team of five veterans, they were joined by a new res-
ident, Alex Stein, who has experience in pyrotechnics. “The effects of her expertise, our veteran teamwork and the generous contributions from all our residents produced by far our best show ever,” Schreiber said. “I am proud to say our fireworks display is as good as any I have ever seen.” Schreiber said they produce the show by setting up two motor pits on each corner of the yard with six tubes each. In the middle of the yard sits a platform of box sets also known as cakes. The person in the center lights his box, and when he’s done the people in the corners fire their tubes. As they do this, the person in the middle reloads. When the tubes in the corners are done they reload as the person in the center fires, and they repeat this for the rest of the show. At the end of the show, they light two large prewired grand finales. This year,

they added an additional motor pit that shoots randomly, Schreiber said. Schreiber said he moved to SummerGrove in 2005, and a neighbor had mentioned to him that an empty lake lot had been used for launching fireworks in previous years. The neighbor also told Schreiber that there was another group of guys who would launch fireworks from the other side of the lake for a friendly competition. “I enthusiastically agreed that we should continue this patriotic tradition,” Schreiber said. He said each year, the number of fireworks increased on both sides of the lake. Schreiber said he decided to ask his surrounding neighbors to contribute $100 each as they seemed to enjoy the show each year. “They agreed, and with our larger budget of $800, we easily won our Fourth of July fireworks competition to the extent that the other side only returned to watch our victorious display each Fourth,” Schreiber said. He said each year, the number of spectators for the show increased. At the time, his daughter was a lifeguard at the community pool and would overhear residents comment on the great fireworks show the city or subdivision was putting on each year. His daughter told them that it wasn’t the city, but her

through recommendations. Mullennix said they look at candidates statistics to see how many arrests and traffic stops they’ve made, and how many good investigations they’ve completed. He said they also have to be well respected by their peers and supervisors and overall a well-rounded individual. “She (Doss) is a proactive individual who has stepped up to the plate and makes good reports and investigations,” Mullennix said. “She’s one of the ones that has come in and continued to grow and show interest in the program. She was highly recommended by her supervisors.” Doss said she is looking forward to passing on what she’s learned to new officers. “I’m looking forward to having a hand in training new guys coming into the field,” Doss said.
dad and some friends. After hearing this, Schreiber said he decided to start a GoFundMe page to collect donations for an even larger show. He said in the summer of 2018, their budget soared to $1,500. The following year, at the suggestion of other residents, he reached out to the SummerGrove Community Association and asked them to contribute to the display in addition to the GoFundMe page. He said the community association agreed, and their budget grew to $3,500 in 2019. Schreiber said the larger budget resulted in a more professional show and even larger crowds. To create the larger show, Schreiber assembled his team of other veterans who live in SummerGrove to help. “Being veterans gave us the extra feeling of patriotism and pride,” Schreiber said. Schreiber said he reached out to the SummerGrove Community Association again this year for a donation. He said they agreed without hesitation, and their donation plus the GoFundMe resulted in a budget of $5,500 for this year’s show. “We look forward to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our SummerGrove residents each year,” Schreiber said.
