The Gordon County Sheriff’s Office is one of the law enforcement agencies across Georgia that recently hosted Israeli officers as part of an information exchange program.Before they could host elite international law enforcement officials, members of the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office needed to solve one problem: lunch.
The county was hosting 18 Israeli police officials last Tuesday as part of an information exchange program. Officers come to Georgia to learn from Peach State police; later, Georgia officers will go to Israel to learn how they keep the streets safe there.
Problem was, the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office would need to host a meal around noon. That meant they needed to find a kosher restaurant.
“There’s not any in Calhoun,” Chief Deputy Robert Paris said.
So he said the department ordered chicken and potatoes from a joint in Marietta, Ga. After the meal, the event was a little bit easier.
