As an agency, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office is committed to providing exceptional service and safety; and believes that Forsyth citizens deserve nothing less. FCSO has identified core values that drive the actions and service delivery.

The values and how they are defined serve as FCSO’s ethical compass in making decisions and taking actions. These values are referred to as "The Forsyth Way."

The new facility is located off of West Memorial Drive in the back of the Dallas Industrial Park. The address to the facility is 284 Dallas Industrial Drive Dallas, GA 30132. The first phase consisted of the construction of a 20 lane pistol target system with state of the art turning targets, running man target, and metal pop-up steel targets. The second phase of the Paulding County Sheriff's Office Training Center opened in December of 2015. The main portion of this phase consisted of a multi-use class room/office building.

Also constructed in the second phase of the project was a 100 and 200 yard sniper range, a shotgun range, and an obstacle course. The third phase of the project was completed in July of 2019 and consists of a live fire "Shoot House".
