Cedartown, Ga. — The Polk County Police Department is mourning the loss of one of its longtime members, Angela “Angie” Shurley, who passed away Tuesday night at her home.

Shurley, a 27-year law enforcement veteran, was described by colleagues as a devoted officer, mentor, and friend whose kindness and compassion left a lasting mark on everyone she met.

In a statement, the department called her “a staple of joy in our hearts,” noting her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, caring spirit. “To know Angie was to love her,” the department shared. “She was a calming voice of reason to all she met and a mother figure to many of our officers.”

Known for her dedication to her colleagues, Shurley often volunteered to answer calls so that younger officers could take a break or finish a meal. She was also deeply devoted to her family, particularly her grandchildren, frequently sharing stories of the joy they brought into her life.

“Angie always put others before herself and strived to ensure that those around her were taken care of,” the statement continued. “There is a hole in our heart with her passing. We will miss her dearly.”

The department has placed Shurley’s patrol vehicle in front of headquarters for community members wishing to pay their respects. Funeral arrangements will be announced once finalized.
