Two months after taking the job, the new Gwinnett County sheriff will be sworn into office.
Keybo Taylor’s swearing in will take place Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center.
Taylor’s swearing-in was originally scheduled for December, but was canceled when he — and other newly elected sheriffs — got COVID-19 following training.
Taylor’s is Gwinnett’s first Black sheriff, and one of several new Black sheriffs in metro Atlanta.
In a statement, Taylor said he is looking forward to his ceremony as a way to inspire the county’s youth.
Among other early actions, Taylor on his first day in office eliminated the county’s participation in the controversial 287(g) immigration program.
