Sapelo Island gangway inspected in late 2022, department says | Georgia
SUMMARY: The Sapelo Island gangway that collapsed on Saturday, resulting in seven deaths, had been inspected in 2022 and deemed structurally sound, contrary to earlier reports suggesting a 2023 inspection. The Department of Natural Resources clarified that a report dated December 10, 2023, was actually for a 2022 inspection. The gangway had undergone additional inspections post-Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Following the incident, new signs limiting the gangway’s occupancy were installed. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump called for a federal investigation into the tragedy, seeking accountability for the deadly collapse during a Gullah Geechee celebration attended by about 700 visitors.

Robots to patrol Georgia jail | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office has introduced high-tech robots at the Cobb County Jail as part of a pilot program aimed at enhancing security. Standing nearly six feet tall, these robots feature advanced technology, including 360-degree cameras, night vision, and heat detection. Sheriff Craig Owens believes this is a pioneering move in U.S. jails, as the robots will assist with perimeter patrols and security rounds while allowing deputies to focus on other duties. The robots operate autonomously but can be remotely controlled for complex tasks. The 90-day pilot program is cost-free and aims to improve safety and efficiency within the facility.
The Cobb County Jail has gotten a major high-tech robotic upgrade. Sheriff Craig Owens says this will be a gamechanger.
