This Week's Program

Dave Long introduced Sheriff Clarence Williams of the Chesterfiels County Sheriff's Dept. Clarence was elected Sheriff in 1990 following service in the police dept. He is proud of his many accomplishments over the past 16 years. Chesterfield County has grown tremendously since then and his department has kept pace increasing from 150 deputies then to 300 now. Anew jail was badly needed and now is one of the best in the state, and possibly the country. He reminds his people that they don't work for him but for the people of the county and to treat all people with respect.
