Here in Clinton where I live we have a Clinton City Police Department and a Henry County Sheriff’s Office. The Clinton Police Department is responsible for deterring crimes, stopping crimes in progress, investigating crimes, and serving as first responders. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for patrolling any unincorporated areas of the county as well as enforcing legal judgments such as foreclosures, repossessions, and tax delinquencies. I know that they are really good about supporting local businesses and they allow certain people to go into the jail and its a faith based organization called “Celebrate Recovery on the inside”. My dad actually used to volunteer and did it for several years.
They actually want to help the criminals that they arrest and leave a positive impact on them. I think they are a positive example of what a police agency should be. They all seem to be one big family from the outside looking in. They also are really good at handling the rowdy teenagers and they don’t give them too much of a hard time. They are also very quick at responding to calls and they handle things very professionally. I would say they have a good reputation.
