Shane Davis

Founder

I was born and raised in Douglasville, Georgia. After High School, I moved to Atlanta in the 1990s to complete my degree in Psychology from Georgia State University. While in college, I also served in the United States Army Reserve from 1992 until 2000. After college, I moved back to the West Georgia area and started a family. In the early 2000s, I began my career in the Bail Bonding industry, where I have been serving the area for almost 20 years. My greatest accomplishments have been serving Christ and raising my family. I have a beautiful wife and 5 children who are the absolute joy of my life!

I began my career in law enforcement in 1999 as a part-time jailer with the Haralson County Sheriff’s Office before accepting a full-time position with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as a jailer in 2001. I graduated basic mandate in 2002 and was employed as a police officer with the Mount Zion Police Department. In 2004, I returned to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office as a deputy sheriff and have been fortunate enough to serve in many capacities. I have served as a K-9 handler with the Interstate Crime Unit, detached to the Department of Homeland Security as a task force agent, Investigations, Court Services, and am currently the Training Coordinator.
