New DeKalb police precinct honors fallen sheriff
DeKalb County has opened a new precinct office, named the Derwin Brown Memorial South Precinct in honor of the county’s fallen sheriff.
The county spent two years and $3.5 million to renovate a former Toys R Us store into the facility, 2842 Shepherd Drive, near Decatur.
The county got the property in a land swap with a developer who is taking over the former precinct on Candler Road, which is expected to become part of a mixed-use project.
