Contact Patrick

Patrick Cullinan is the Executive Director of the Georgia Division of the SSPBA. He brings more than thirty years of law enforcement experience to the organization, with a background that includes K-9 operations, criminal interdiction, training, traffic fatality investigation, vice and narcotics, and violent-crime investigations.

Patrick began his career with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office before joining the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, where he served until his retirement. A longtime and active member of the PBA of Georgia, he was elected president of the River Region Chapter and later served as senior vice president for the PBA of GA. After retiring from law enforcement, he joined the SSPBA as a full-time staff representative under the guidance and mentorship of longtime Executive Director Joe Stiles. Joe’s leadership, paired with Patrick’s decades of hands-on experience, provided the foundation that prepared him for his current role.

Beyond his work with the SSPBA, Patrick has been deeply involved in peer support across Georgia and the nation, helping officers and their families navigate the unique challenges of the profession. A graduate of Thomas University, he was appointed Executive Director of the Georgia Division in 2024 and continues to advocate with the same dedication and integrity that defined his career in uniform.

“I don’t just know the challenges of this profession. I’ve lived them. I carry that experience into this role, committed to standing with every officer who continues to serve.”
