Aiken County ACSO adds fifth shift to meet rising calls
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office switched from four to five shifts in January to handle increasing demand. Capt. Bobby W. Wilson says calls rise about 20 to 40 percent yearly and the extra shift lowers workload, cuts overtime, and puts more deputies on streets during peak times from 3 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. Morale has improved as deputies are less burned out and response times should drop.
