Sheriff Dave Roberson

I come from a family of public servants and was fortunate to grow up in the local law enforcement community. My father, Lonzo Roberson, had a 40-year career with the Rome Police Department, my brother, Brad, is the chief of operations for the Rome-Floyd Fire Department. So public service is truly a calling for our family.

​

I started working at the Sheriff’s Office in January of 1995 as a jail officer, and in my 26 years of continuous service, I've had nearly every job there is. I’ve held leadership roles in each of our four divisions (Detention, Field Services, Courts, & Professional Development) working up through the ranks from Jail Officer to Sheriff.

I believe that collaboration, teamwork and strategic partnerships are the keys to making Floyd County better and safer for all who live here. As a Sheriff’s Office, we can certainly do more, and I look forward to doing so.
