About Jerry Ramos
Family
I was born to Puerto Rican / Spaniard parents that moved from the island of Puerto Rico to the mainland during the "Great Migration".
My wife Kristi and me have been married for over (28) years, she is a NE Georgia native and the pillar for our blended family. We are blessed with (8) children and (15) grandchildren.
Untold Story
I was raised in an economically disadvantaged environment with little to nothing and spent our early years dependent mostly on nutritional outreach programs, government financial aid, and public housing riddled with crime as well as drugs.
Fortunately, exposure to my childhood challenges and concurrent life's setbacks have provided me with the determination along with the drive to work hard to self-develop and achieve my goals to better serve God, Family, Country, and Community!
Public Service
​With over (20) years of committed service in public safety, I've created a diversified and effective career that includes frontline duties, senior leadership, and culminating as Chief of Police.
During my (8) year military career, I served as a front line leader with a Combat Brigade Team, and Rapid Deployment Force.
Throughout my journey, I've been driven by a profound belief in the power of collaboration, proactive engagement, and the importance of fostering trust.
