Sheriff Austin Garrett has had a long career in law enforcement, following (somewhat) in the footsteps of his father, Austin “Cowboy” Garrett.

In this episode, Sheriff Garrett shares his three reasons for doing the job, why the HCSO uses social media to share the good and the bad, and how he maintains a work/life balance despite having to always be “on.” 

Plus, he shares behind-the-scenes information on how the City and County work together, and why he’s been “working short” without a Chief Deputy for almost 2 years.

Sheriff Austin Garrett was sworn in as the 60th Sheriff of Hamilton County in 2022. You can learn more about him on the HCSO website here: hcsheriff.gov/gen_info/about_sheriff.php You can also learn more about the Forgotten Child Fund at forgottenchildfund.org
