In this edition of Behind the Badge, we ride with four deputies who have been on the road as enforcement deputies for a little more than a year. We talk about their experiences and opportunities they've discovered since becoming part of the YCSO family.

At the beginning of the holiday traffic season, we talk with our traffic enforcement unit about safety tips and the new Carolina Squat Law that just passed.

If it wasn't for the hard working people in the Evidence Control Unit to catalog and maintain crime evidence, our detectives and investigators wouldn’t be able to follow up and then solve any case, more or less get them to court in front of a jury.

In 1992, an infant girl was found inside a plastic Sears shopping bag floating in the Catawba River between Fort Mill and Rock Hill. For 29 years, leads on the case ran cold until science caught up to help bring closure to the murder of Baby Angel Hope.

Back in August 2023, we created a funny little video that was going around on social media mimicking an ASMR Bentley luxury car video. Here's the link -

The video quickly went viral on Instagram, Facebook and Tik Tok. Through the video, we received a lot of questions about the patrol car accessories. In this YCSO Behind the Badge we answer some of those questions. You can also watch this podcast on our YouTube page.

For 16 years, the Sheriff's Foundation of York County has hosted a golf tournament at Springfield Golf Club in Fort Mill as the main fundraising endeavor for student scholarships, the Mike Doty officer assistance fund, and other student law enforcement career programs.

This year, we thank Smart Communications and Founders Federal Credit Union for being our presenting sponsors.

This podcast was recorded at the tournament.
