Sheriff: New look saves money, sets the right tone

Columbus County deputies have a whole new wardrobe.

While some law enforcement agencies are leaning toward a more military style of uniform, Columbus deputies are sporting a more traditional look with a number of modern updates.

“We are trying to change the image of the Sheriff’s Office,” Sheriff Jody Greene said. “We are striving to build pride in our employees, through training and good equipment. And with this, we can gain the respect of the citizens we serve and protect.”
