On May 4, 2022, the Shield Club of Greater Augusta made a $14,500 donation to the Grovetown Police Department. The funds will be used to help establish the department’s first K9 Unit.

The Shield Club of Greater Augusta was founded in 1986 for the purpose of offering financial support to police officers, sheriff’s deputies and firemen (and their families) that are killed or injured in the line of duty or experience extreme hardships. The organization also provides support to Richmond and Columbia County law enforcement and peace officer agencies and fire departments to that same end.
