A
A
B
It's
a
little
uncomfortable
talking
about
myself,
but
thank
you
for
asking.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Columbia
South
Carolina
and
came
to
aiken
on
to
USC
Aiken
on
a
soccer
scholarship
to
play
with
the
intentions
of
transferring
back
to
Carolina.
Excuse
me
and
I
realized
very
quickly.
I
wanted
to
be
part
of
this
community
at
USC
Aiken
in
the
pendulum
building,
there's
a
knot
and
it
symbolizes.
B
The
ties
of
the
University
with
its
community
and
I
didn't
really
understand
the
importance
of
it
until
after
I
started
thinking
about
it
a
lot,
but
it's
it
stays
with
me
in
a
continuous
moment
till
today,
so
I
started
USC
Aiken
and
in
the
criminal
justice
program,
yet
there
and
quickly
realized.
Maybe
this
is
something
that
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
policeman
and
fireman
didn't
know.
I
would
have
that
opportunity.
So
it
was
neat
to
find
a
home
here
in
aiken
that
does
have
a
public
safety
department.
B
So
I
as
I
went
through
my
career
at
USC
Aiken.
I
also
participated
in
their
security
force
there,
so
that
was
really
my
first
job
and
law
enforcement
as
a
security
officer
at
USDA
and
did
that
for
a
short
time
before
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
hired
by
they
can
Department
of
Public
Safety,
where
I
spent
about
eight
years
on
the
road
then
transferred
into
the
community
services.
B
Division
worked
for
Special
Services
Bureau,
which
handled
the
traffic
unit,
the
Bloodhound
tracking
team,
VIP
security
warrants
extra
ditions,
all
the
other
other
stuff
and
rose
to
the
rank
of
sergeant
in
that
division
and
had
an
opportunity
to
go
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
spend
about
six
years.
They
can
County
Sheriff's
Office,
where
I
learned
a
lot.
I
really
learned
a
lot.
When
I
went
to
the
detention
center
and
ran
the
detention
center
is
the
jail
administrator
I'm?
It
really.
Let
me
see
somewhat
the
other
side
of
law
enforcement.
You
know.
B
Sometimes
the
detention
centers
looked
at
the
bottom
of
the
totem
pole
in
law
enforcement.
However,
I
submit
that
it's
the
foundation,
sir,
because
if
the
men
and
women
that
are
out
there
doing
the
job
on
the
street
don't
have
an
effective
place
to
sit
safely
securely
house.
Folks
that
can't
be
as
effective
right.
I
also
saw
the
the
hurt.
The
worry,
the
families,
the
children
all
affected
by
that,
and
it
gave
me
a
very
unique
perspective
and
what
I
think
helped
prepare
us
for
Safe,
Communities
sure.
A
Absolutely
you
really
run
the
gamut
in
your
career
with
him
in
time
on
on
the
road
and
with
the
tracking
team,
and
all
of
that
experience
just
kind
of
to
culminate
to
bring
you
to
chief
of
our
Public
Safety
Department,
so
starting
off
an
Incan
and
fell
in
love.
That's
the
story.
We
hear
a
lot
and
we're
just.
C
C
A
C
B
You
know
school
elementary
school
high
school,
my
soccer
coaches,
men
that
have
mentored
me
in
trying
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
when
I
met
chief
Carol
Busby
here,
he
really
showed
me
how
all
that
comes
together
and
in
his
fairness,
his
commitment
to
this
community,
his
vision
to
do
the
right
thing,
all
the
time
and
that's
easily
said,
but
it's
very
difficult
to
do,
and
so
his
continued
commitment
to
that
was
a
huge
impact
on
me.
That's.
A
That's
he's
a
very
pillar
of
our
community
and
a
wonderful
mentor
so
cheap.
You
talked
about
starting
out
at
USC
Aiken
and
going
into
a
degree
field
of
Criminal
Justice,
and
you
know
kind
of
finding
out
that
that
was
really
for
you.
So
so,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
what
really
chose
you
to
to
take
that
path
and
and
what's
stuck
with
you
to
make
make
you
want
to
continue
on
in
law,
enforcer.
B
B
Making
a
decision
have
always
wanted
to
be
in
law
enforcement
or
the
military,
something
that
was
very
structured
but
also
I
leaned
towards
law
enforcement,
because
there
was
that
contact
with
people
that
you
could
help
contact
with
people
that
you
can
make
a
difference
with
contact,
people
that
have
to
understand
processes
and
understand
the
system.
You
know,
criminal
justice
system
is
very
cumbersome,
I
work
in
it
every
day
and
it
becomes
confusing
at
time
since
so
being
able
to
help
people
work
through.
That
was
something
that
was
important
to
me.
B
As
I
said:
I
had
an
idea:
I
wanted
to
be
an
FBI
agent,
so
I
got
on
here,
taking
public
safety
and
realize
the
importance
and
developing
relationships
and
working
with
the
community
and
I
said:
oh
no
I.
I
think
I
can
make
a
bigger
difference
here
in
our
local
law
enforcement,
and
so
that's
why
Matt's
wife
stayed
in
our
local
law
enforcement.
There.
A
Again
and
and
the
story
continues
right
well,
this
is
a
question
that
I've
heard
numerous
times
from
from
folks
in
our
community
is
the
question
of
are
akin
Department
of
Public
Safety,
being
a
department
of
public
safety
and
how
that
differs
from
a
police
department.
So
can
you
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
that
framework
right.
B
Well,
actually,
the
last
time
I
was
on
the
show.
Chief
Busby
I
was
with
him
talking
about
the
history
of
Public
Safety,
so
I
think
it
goes
right
on
into
it.
Public
Safety
is
and
there's
many
different
iterations
of
what
public
safety
looks
like.
But
what
it
looks
like
here
in
Aiken
is:
we
are
a
full-service
fire
department
and
Police
Department,
but
we've
combined
and
task
our
officers
to
have
dual
certification
in
both
police
and
fire
to
best
serve
our
citizens.
B
It's
the
inception
of
Public,
Safety
and
akin
was
in
the
late
50s
1950s
and
came
to
fruition
in
July,
first
1977,
and
so
we've
been
a
full-service
Public
Safety
Department
since
then,
and
there's
been
some
evolution
with
that
when
I
first
came
on
to
public
safety,
I
spent
half
my
time
in
the
fire
station
and
half
my
time
out
on
the
road.
Now
we
have
driver
operators
that
stay
in
the
fire
station
and
the
public
safety
officers
are
still
certified
in
firefighting
and
they
respond
and
act
as
our
firefighters.
When
we
have
a
fire.
B
Of
course,
the
primary
component
of
their
job
is
law
enforcement.
That's
what
they
do.
The
most
of
but
we
have
to
stay,
focused
on
the
training
right
and
making
sure
they're
efficient
in
it,
and
if
there
is
critics
of
Public
Safety,
that's
where
you
know
people
say
it,
it
is
a
lot
of
training
is
lauded.
What
we
asked
for,
or
folks
sure.
B
B
B
B
We
broken
down
in
our
budget
as,
as
I'll
speak
about
it.
It's
our
administration
division
which
handles
so
many
different
things
that
handles
accreditation.
The
hiring
process
is
the
policymakers
internal
affairs
dispatch
center,
our
records
bureau,
so
there's
a
lot
of
our
training
component
is
in
administration.
So
there's
a
lot
of
components
of
that.
The
next
division
is
our
patrol
fire
division,
which
is
our
largest
division
and
that's
where
all
the
patrol
shifts
function
as
well
as
our
fire
divisions.
You
know
we
have
four
shifts
that
rotate.
B
They
work
12-hour
shifts
on
the
as
far
as
the
public
safety
officers
go
and
in
the
fire
service
side
they
have
three
shifts
and
they
work
24
on
and
48
off.
So
when
we
moved
after
that
is
our
investigative
division.
Of
course.
Those
are.
Our
investigators
are
narcotics
officers,
our
evidence,
our
lab
crime
scene.
All
those
components
fall
under
that
we
have
a
youth
services,
division
which
focuses
on
the
school-based
officers
an
investigator
to
investigate
crimes
against
children
and
that
children
have
done
crimes.
B
Excuse
me:
we
have
our
youth
services
coordinator
and
our
community
sources
coordinator,
so
we
have
a
broad
spectrum
of
things
that
go
on
in
that
division
and
finally,
as
our
support
services,
division,
which
is,
of
course
behind
every
good
building,
there's
somebody
that
takes
care
of
and
they
take
care
of,
our
buildings
or
traffic
lights,
downtown
our
street
signs.
They
can
fix
anything
and
so
that
division
really
is
pulled
upon
by
all
the
other
division
right.
A
Right,
it's
a
lot
of
coordination,
a
lot
of
folks
working
together,
lots
of
components
that
go
into
that.
Do
you
have
to
ask
you
this,
while
I'm
thinking
about
it
throughout
our
state
you
in
our
conversation
about
the
difference
between
a
police
department
of
public
safety
and
what
that
is,
how
many
other
departments
in
South
Carolina
function
as
a
public
safety?
Sure.
B
What
we
do
here
in
Aiken
is
our
sister
Department
in
this
county
is
north
augusta
public
safety,
so
that
and
some
of
those
departments
are
phasing
away
from
public
safety.
But
there's
always
there's
a
new
department
that
we're
working
with
now
in
South
Carolina,
that's
trying
to
combine
their
services,
sir
sure.
A
So
much
to
take
under
consideration
and
as
we're
talking
today
and
you
talk
about
the
complexity
of
the
divisions
and
the
departments
and
what
really
does
make
up
a
canned
Department
of
Public,
Safety
and
there's
something
that
I
think
is
tremendous.
Is
the
accreditation
standard
that
you
keep
for
your
department?
So
so
can
you
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
accreditation
and
what
that
is
and
what
that
means
sure.
A
B
Know
this
isn't
mandated
this,
isn't
something
that
somebody's
come
in
said
you
have
to
do
that.
We
do
it
voluntarily,
because
we
want
to
provide
the
best
service
to
our
citizens
and
it
holds
us
accountable
in
so
many
different
ways
and
the
agency
that
oversees
us
is
the
commission
of
treaded
ation
for
law
enforcement
agencies
coleus.
B
What
we
call
right
and
Kalia
is
made
up
of
four
different
for
primary
organizations:
the
International
Association
of
Chiefs
of
Police,
the
national
organization
of
by
law
enforcement,
executives,
National,
sheriffs,
Association
and
then
police,
executive,
Research,
Forum
or
perf,
and
those
agencies
collaborate
on
the
maintaining
of
the
standards,
the
new
standards
that
are
coming
out
quarterly
and
the
organization
of
Kalia
some
of
the
purposes
of
Kalia.
You
know
because
I
get
this
question
all
the
time
about.
Well,
why
did
why?
Is
it
important
to
be
accredited
or
you
know?
B
Why
do
we
spend
a
little
bit
of
money
on
this
to
maintain
this
accreditation,
which
we've
been
accredited
since
1998,
and
we
were
just
recently
RIA
credited
in
2012,
and
this
is
straight
off
the
clear
with
website
and
it's
strengthened
crime
prevention
and
control
capabilities,
formalized
the
essential
management
procedures
established.
Fair
and
non-discriminatory
personnel
practices,
improve
service
delivery,
solidify
interagency
cooperation
and
coordination,
and
here's
the
most
important
in
my
part,
increase
community
and
staff
confidence
in
the
agency.
B
B
B
That
has
to
happen
once
every
three
years
when
they
do
an
on-site,
it's
something
that
we
do
every
day.
So
it's
not
like
it's
cumbersome
to
one
or
a
group
of
people
that
have
to
put
all
this
paperwork
together
and
with
technology
we've
been
able
to
use
the
computer
system
to
be
able
to
format.
These
reports
requested
and.
A
To
have
that
standard
and
know
that
you
are
hitting
these
marks
and
trying
to
take
care
of
things
across
the
board
at
a
National.
You
know
hitting
those
standards.
I
think
that
our
citizens
should
be
so
very
proud
that
we
strive
for
these
standards
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
very
prestigious
that
that
our
akin
Department
in
public
safety
is
accredited
and
that
those
standards
are
held
very
high.
Well,.
B
Is
a
component
of
it
and
the
input
from
the
community
has
helped
shape
some
of
our
policies
and
procedure,
but
it
is
the
reports
that
are
required
through
accreditation.
Helps
us
maintain.
Our
transparency
helps
us
maintain
accountability
not
only
to
our
community
but
to
ourselves
and
holds
each
other
account.
Yes,.
A
Community
component
is
also
very
important
to
you,
with
your
philosophy
of
being
the
leader
of
this
department
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
kind
of
a
really
good
segue
talking
about
the
national
standards
and
and
how
the
department
itself
has
evolved.
How
have
you
in
law
enforcement
evolved
over
the
years
right.
B
It's
sort
of
funny
you
ask
that
question.
We
talked
about
all
the
technology
that
we
use
on
a
daily
basis
when
I
first
got
into
law
enforcement.
We
didn't
you
know
the
vest
that
we
were
wearing
we're
very,
very
heavy,
and
we
didn't
have
quite
as
many
things
on
our
belts
and
so
the
tools
that
are
available
to
our
officers.
Now
the
vests
they
wear
a
much
lighter
the
radios
that
they
use
or
lighter
and
can
do
a
lot
more.
The
computer
systems,
the
in-car
cameras,
the
body,
worn
cameras,
the
tasers.
B
All
of
that
has
really
helped
us
evolve
to
for
officer
safety
reasons
for
implementing
our
services
to
the
computer,
but
really
when
it
comes
down
to
it
it
our
philosophy
hasn't
changed
a
lot.
Sir
robert
peel
said
the
police
or
the
public
in
the
public
or
the
police,
and
we
still
go
by
that
philosophy.
Today,
we
can't
do
this
by
ourselves.
We
still
have
to
have
those
meaningful
relationships
with
our
community
to
solve
crime
to
understand.
You
know
how
we
should
best
enforce
the
laws.
A
Knowing
that,
with
with
the
evolution
with
all
of
this,
that
we
just
talked
about
in
knowing
that
there
is
just
that
that
filler,
that
really
holds
everything
together,
I
want
to
touch
on
this,
because
I
know
that
law
enforcement
issues
have
really
taken
a
national
spotlight
recently,
and
I
just
want
to
get
a
sense
from
you
about
how
that
has
impacted.
The
aiken
department
in
public
safety.
Sure.
B
That
has
been
ongoing
since
I've
been
at
this
department
when
I
was
assigned
to
community
services.
I
worked
in
at
Smith
hazel.
Actually,
that's
where
my
beat
was,
and
I
really
saw
and
grew
with
the
community.
There
understand
that
there's
different
perspectives,
understanding
that
we
needed
to
listen
and
hear
what
the
concerns
was
a
lot
of
times.
People
didn't
know
there
was
a
process
for
something.
C
B
Educating
people
in
the
process,
they
didn't
understand
that
there
may
be,
you
know
a
policy
or
procedure
or
even
a
law,
that
this
is
why
this
had
to
happen.
So
not
only
are
we
police
officers,
we
try
to
be
educators
as
well
to
educate
folks
on.
We
have
guidelines
we
have
to
go
by.
There
is
a
law
that
we
have
to
enforce,
but
there's
also
ways
that
we
can
work
with
folks
to
best
help
them
understand
that
law.
Well,.
B
A
Think
is
so
you're
so
important,
especially
this
this
day
and
age,
but
but
knowing
that
that's
been
going
on
for
a
very
long
time
in
our
department.
Well,.
B
B
B
You
don't
go
in
there
and
just
arrest
everybody
everybody
you
just
you
have
to
make
those
tactical
and
strategic
arrest,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
are
affecting
crime,
as
we've
learned
in
our
safe
communities
initiative
that
there's
only
a
very,
very
small
percentage
of
the
folks
committing
violent
crime,
and
so
keeping
the
focus
on
those
that
are
really
doing.
That
is
is
where
we
have
aligned
our
resources
to
be
able
to
to
best
keep
our
community
safe.
Sure.
A
Well,
I
know
that
back
in
2015
well
shift
gears
just
a
little
bit
on
you,
because
I
think
that
this
is
again.
This
speaks
to
what
you're
doing
here
in
public
safety's
y'all
had
helped
to
host
with
the
US
Attorney's
Office
a
conference
here
in
aiken
that
was
about
police
and
community
engagement
pace.
Y'all.
Have
you
have
a
lot
of
acronyms
commitment.
C
A
B
Of
our
leadership
truthfully
in
relationships
with
our
community,
the
US
Attorney's
Office
in
South
Carolina
reach
out
to
us
and
said
hey
we
want
to.
We
want
to
get
some
of
what
you
guys
are
doing
and
share
it
with
folks,
and
so
with
the
work
of
Cynthia
Mitchell
and
the
US
Attorney's
Office,
and
the
collaboration
in
South
Carolina
law
enforcement,
Association
came
together
and
we
hosted
the
first
pace
conference,
as
you
mentioned,
and
this
just
wasn't
something
we
were
telling
akin
story
about.
We
had
national
presenters
there.
Some
of
them
were
chief
Harry
Dolen,
dr.
B
Cedric,
Alexander,
Reverend,
jeffrey
Brown
of
the
Boston
miracle
I
folks
that
have
lived
and
walked
through
these
difficult
situations
with
communities
that
have
seen
the
successes
that
we
have
shared
here
in
aiken
with
our
community.
We
had
a
outpouring
of
support
from
not
only
law
enforcement,
but
it
was
sort
of
unique
because
we
had
our
community
as
part
of
the
training.
With
the
law
enforcement.
We
did
some
training
together.
We
went
our
split
up
a
little
wit
and
did
individual
training
and
then
came
back
and
had
a
and
it
was.
B
A
Good
well,
I
think
that's
just
such
a
testament
to
the
work
that
you
have
been
doing.
The
work
that
this
department
has
been
doing
with
community
relations
and
community
engagement.
That
I
think
is
just
just
really
phenomenal
and
something
that
I
know
that
that's
kind
of
new
on
on
the
plate
is
on
the
citizens.
Review
board
yeah.
C
B
B
We
have
a
lot
of
things
going
on,
but
a
focus
on
our
Safe
Communities
initiative
is
going
to
be
focus.
Unfortunately,
South
Carolina
leads
the
nation
and
domestic
violence
homicides.
We
went
back
and
have
done
some
studies
on
our
domestic
violence
and
working
with
our
focus
returns
model
and
we
have
actually
partnered
with
USD
akin
to
do
some
tracking
of
our
domestics
and
really
focus
on
the
intimate
partner
to
domestic.
B
A
They
can
save
communities.
Approach
has
been
such
a
successful
program
for
the
department,
focusing
on
the
first
phase
of
it
and
now
looking
at
the
second
phase
with
the
domestic
violence
piece
I
know
that
you've
got
a
lot
of
positive
things
in
your
corner
to
help.
You
know
assured
this
next
phase
through
and
I.
Think
it's
just
going
to
be
a
phenomenal
thing
for
department
of
public
safety,
always
good
things
on
the
horizon,
with
the
community
engagement
piece
in
kind
of
to
that
point.
A
B
Been
very
honored
to
have
men
and
women
come
in
here
and
make
complaints.
Sometimes
they
sound,
horrific
or
either
it
may
be
a
simple
complaint,
as
you
know,
a
rudeness
or
something
to
that
effect,
and
so
we
have
processes
in
place
is
to
address
all
of
these.
We
hold
through
these
processes.
We
have
reports
out
on
these
processes
and
we
are
human.
We
make
mistakes,
and
so
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
I
hope.
Our
community
has
the
confidence
in
us
to
continue
to
come
in
here
and
and
voice.
B
C
B
Is
why
we
couldn't
make
a
rest
on
this
case
and
so
understanding
the
law
or
their
processes
that
we
do
have
in
place,
but
we
have
we.
We
want
people
to
feel
free,
even
if
they
don't
come
into
this
office,
to
make
complaints,
there's
ways
to
make
complaint
over
the
telephone.
There's
ways
to
make
complaints
through
our
internet
there's
ways
to
make
complaints.
You
know
just
by
sir,
you
know
something
in
the
lobby.
That's
out
there.
You
can
do
that
many
different
ways
and
you
need
to
know
that
there
is
no
repercussion.
There
is
no.
B
A
It's
complaints,
sir,
during
your
time.
I
know
that
you've
had
many
what
you
call
courageous
conversations
and
I
just
applaud
where
you
go
with
that,
wanting
the
transparency
and
getting
involved
with
the
community
I
think
it's
just
a
really
tremendous
effort
on
the
part
of
the
Department
of
Public
Safety,
especially
given
the
light
of
situations
that
happen
across
our
nation
that
we
that
we
hear
about.
B
A
B
Don't
want
to
sound
like
a
broken
record,
but
it
is.
We
cannot
get
this
job
done
alone.
We
have
to
have
this
community,
whether
it's
providing
information
on
a
crime,
whether
it's
a
perspective
that
we're
not
addressing
you
know
in
what
the
community
feels
inappropriate
manner.
Of
course,
we
have
limitations.
There's
a
member
of
our
department
says
get
in
where
you
fit
in
that's.
B
To
figure
out
where
that
is
chief
Brown
from
Dallas
said
recently
that
you
know
we
asked
our
law
enforcement
officers
specifically,
do
too
many
things
so
keeping
the
guideline
keeping
in
our
lane,
where
we're
supposed
to
be
is
important
and
then
the
community
understanding
what
that
Lane
is
and
working
together.
There's
a
bright
future
here,
because
that
hard
work,
those
courageous
conversations
is
just
going
to
lead
to
a
better
tomorrow.
Absolutely.
