Since January 2007, the City of Soperton has operated without a Police Department, as the city funds alloted for Police protection have been turned over to the Treutlen County government, while the Sheriff's Department has assumed the duties.
In the third week of October 1977, the Police Personnel posed in front of the reburshised downtown Police Office, as the new Fire and Police building was being finished. The site in the center of town was for many years the location for weighing the deer during the annual Sportsman's Club contest.
