By Staff report

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is announcing the annual “Ride the Lightning” fundraiser in recognition of Corrections and Law Enforcement Week.

Last year, Fulton County raised over $12,000 to support the local FOP Lodge #143 Shop With a Cop program.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is calling on area businesses to step up and get involved:
Find a brave (or volunteered ) employee within your organization willing to “Ride the Lightning”
Rally your team and community to fundraise in their name

The business that raises the least amount will take the loss. I will be their selected employee will be “honored” in a very memorable way by taking a Taser shot during the staff luncheon on May 14.

All proceeds go directly to FOP Lodge #143 Shop With a Cop – Fulton County.
