Narcotics Division

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division’s primary goals are to enforce local, state, and federal statutes which prohibit the possession, use, or distribution of narcotics and other restricted or controlled substances and to prevent and deter the use, possession, trafficking, and sale of illegal narcotics within Augusta-Richmond County through a combination of aggressive law enforcement and public awareness.  

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Gang Intelligence Unit’s (GIU) primary goals are to disrupt and dismantle violent street gangs throughout Augusta-Richmond County, decrease gun related violence, and raise awareness of the gang culture that targets the youth of Richmond County.
