Poulan, Georgia
Poulan is a city in Worth County, Georgia, United States. The population was 709 in 2026. Poulan is part of the Albany, Georgia metropolitan area.
Poulan is notable for its police department's speed trap tactics from 2006 to 2024,and reported criminal activity by city and police leadership.
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Poulan as a town in 1889. The city was named for Judge W. A. Poulan. The remnants of what was once a bank and pharmacy are still standing on Broad Street. Poulan is also home to the only two historical registered properties in Worth County; the Poulan Library and Possum Poke. Poulan was settled in 1877 along the Brunswick and Albany railroad.
In December 2007, then Police Chief Angie Schlosser, was fired from the Poulan Police Department after the city claimed she had performed an illegal background investigation into a city council member. Schlosser was never charged with a crime, and no outside investigation was conducted.
In September 2012, then Poulan Mayor, Dustin Grubbs, was arrested in Dougherty County and charged with felony possession of various narcotic prescription pills including oxycodone, oxycontin, and two different mixtures of Vicodin in different dosages. Grubbs remained the Mayor of Poulan until his death in October 2020.
In August 2017, Rosemary Jones, a police officer employed by Poulan Police, was arrested and charged by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation with two counts of felony cruelty to children in the first degree, two counts of aggravated assault, and one count of felony false imprisonment. She was retained by the Poulan Police Department, and promoted to Major.
In April 2022, officers reported their own findings of corruption by the Police Chief, Larry Whisenant, including theft, firearms violations, and falsified reports to both the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Tift Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office. Both officers were terminated after they reported their evidence and investigation.
The Poulan Police Department has been featured in numerous articles by investigative journalists, most notably for its speed trap tactics and criminal activity since 2009. In 2009, Poulan's small police force generated nearly $900,000 from fines and fees, a number comparable to a city 30 times its size and due to the charges and fees being more than most cities. The per capita revenue from fines and fees is $1,019.15.. Larry Whisenant, the current Poulan Police Chief has never been investigated or prosecuted, despite multiple former officers and investigative journalists detailing incidents of criminal activity. The City of Poulan posted a photo on their website showcasing the relationship that Larry Whisenant has with the Georgia Governor's Office, specifically GA Governor Brian Kemp.
