The Giles County Commission has appointed a new Sheriff to complete the term of the recently resigned Sheriff Kyle Helton. Joe Purvis has been chosen to serve in this capacity until the upcoming Giles County General Election, which is scheduled for August 2026. Notably, Purvis was the deputy that former Sheriff Helton endorsed prior to his departure to assume a position with the Department of Homeland Security last month. This transition marks a significant moment for the county as it seeks to maintain stability in its law enforcement leadership.
