The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) hosted its second annual “Live Nobly” Father’s Day Celebration on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

The event welcomed speakers from Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc. Each speaker offered reflections on fatherhood, manhood, responsibility, and service. Their messages, grounded in community leadership and lived experience, were delivered to a room of approximately 30 attendees, many of whom will soon return to their families and communities.

Several detainees also shared powerful personal stories about growth, accountability, and their hopes for the future. Their reflections added a moving, firsthand perspective to the event’s themes of redemption and renewal.

Remarks were also shared by Sheriff Craig Owens, Chief of Staff David Jones, and Detention Center Commander Col. Michael Williams, who joined the CCSO leaders in celebrating the importance of second chances and personal growth.
