Office of Public Information
Media Relations


Effective media relations is a must in the 21st century. A law enforcement agency that wants to connect with its citizens but omits media relations from the equation is damaging its ability to effectively serve the citizens. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott has created a model community policing agency emphasizing good media relations. Sheriff Lott understands that citizens form opinions based on what they see, hear, and read, which is why media relations is just as important as the most successful crime prevention initiative.

For further information or to contact the Richland County Sheriff's Department Office of Public Information, please call Lt. Chris Cowan.
