Hall County Sheriff's National Night Out

 

Target of Gainesville (514 Shallowford Rd NW Gainesville, GA 30504) hosted another National Night Out against crime, on Tuesday (8/6/13). The community was invited to participate in this free social event. Hall County Sheriff's Office partners at Safe Kids of Gainesville-Hall County, other community public safety agencies and neighbors across the county joined together to commemorate the nation's premiere crime prevention event!

 

The Night Out against crime was designed to: (1) heighten crime prevention awareness, (2) generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit & police-community partnerships, and (4) send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back to prevent and deter crime in our community.

 

Everyone at the Hall County Sheriff's Office would like to say a big "Thank you!" to our friends at Target and community partners for a wonderful night out in the city of Gainesville. We were happy to share information on our Neighborhood Watch Program, Georgia's new Boating Laws, Child Passenger Car Safety, Internet Safety and much more. We also enjoyed the food, music and fun with neighbors while making a stand against crime in our community!

Using Delayed Delivery in Outlook

If you have ever needed to remind yourself about something to do or ensure an e-mail does not arrive to a person before a specific time, the delayed delivery feature in Outlook can help.

 

1. Within Outlook, create a new e-mail message. In the message, click the Options tab and the button for Delay Delivery.

 

  

2. After clicking Delay Delivery, the properties dialog box appears. Ensure the "Do not deliver before:" checkbox is selected and enter a date and time you want the e-mail to be delivered. Once you have completed that, click the Close button.

 

3. After the dialog box has closed, you'll be back at your e-mail. Just fill it out as normal and send. It will not attempt to deliver the e-mail until the time you specified. If you need to edit the e-mail or just delete it, it will stay in your Outbox until the time comes to deliver the message.

 

Your first call should be the Hall County Help Desk at 770-531-6704. The Help Desk is available for any County computer work-related issue Monday-Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.

If your need is less urgent, you can also email the Help Desk, and a technician will contact you.
