Today: Deputy Chief Patrick Clayton of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office joins us. He talks about his background for public service and how that brought him to Augusta, first as a Federal Agent, and later as a community member and public servant. We talk about the history of crime in Augusta during his experiences in the city, the trends that we notice, the future plans being implemented as downtown grows, and how Augusta compared around the state. We also talk about how the sheriff's office is dealing with some of the most concerning trends in our time. If you love Augusta civics and want to learn about the future of downtown, this is a great episode for you!
