Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree announced plans Thursday to start making traffic stops and releasing the video on a YouTube channel.
In a RCSO Facebook post, the third-term sheriff called it a safety awareness project that he feels will be entertaining as well as extremely important and educational.
“Each week I will post videos of me conducting traffic stops promoting awareness of the dangers of distracted driving (cell phones), pedestrians in the roadway and random citizen encounters,” Roundtree said. “All in an effort to one, get me out of the office and more importantly re-connect with the people who put me in office and hopefully save some lives.”
The project will be called “Car One to Dispatch, RCSO,” with videos posted weekly on YouTube. He tells residents to tune in and “and see if someone you know made an episode.”
