The Admin’s Notes
Good Morning Everyone!
It’s Friday, November 15th, 2024.
So an update on NCST Field Report going forward. In order to make sure that the workload is such that I can ensure getting it out, I’m adjusting the publication to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week.
This will help me out a lot, but it will also make sure that there’s content. Honestly doing it every day - there are days when there’s not a lot to update on.

Summary and Updates
The following incidents were covered on the Newnan Coweta Scanner Traffic NCST FB Page in the previous few days.
Vehicle Pursuit Ends with CCSO K9 Titan killed, Deputy Injured
Just before 11 PM on Wednesday, November 13th, a deputy with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office attempted to stop a vehicle on North Hwy 29 near the intersection with Johnston Circle. The vehicle failed to stop and led the deputy on a pursuit that quickly passed through Palmetto at speeds in excess of 100 MPH.
As the pursuit continued north on Roosevelt Highway, passing Tatum Rd, the deputy PIT’d the suspect’s vehicle, causing it to overturn. As the deputy and his K9 partner, Titan, approached the vehicle, the suspect began firing at them with a rifle. Sadly K9 Titan was hit and killed and the deputy was injured after bullets grazed him multiple times. The deputy was treated and is expected to fully recover.
The deputy returned fire and was able to hit the suspect, killing him.
