Sheriff Gunnells Calls for More Funds for Aiken County Dept
Sheriff Ralph Gunnells told the Aiken Rotary Club that the county sheriff's department is underfunded and lagging behind in pay, facing staffing competition from municipalities and private employers as crime and population rise. He noted starting salaries around 10 800 while North Augusta pays 11 000 to 12 000, and police demand grows with calls rising from 600 to 1200 per month. The talk followed the Rotarians naming Drew Lanham Student Guest of the Year.
