Crime in 2018 in Oconee County

Oconee Sheriff’s Office last year investigated four cases of homicide and was involved in a total of 19 death investigations. The Sheriff’s Office, in all, fielded more than 170,000 telephone calls, of which there were 36,000 emergencies. The non-stop scourge of drug violations went unabated in 2018, as the county narcotics unit made 310 cases and the uniformed patrol division made 130 others. Crenshaw was emphatic today that the judiciary should be tougher on those who are convicted of peddling drugs. If there’s one category in which the sheriff takes pride it is the reduction of domestic violence cases. There were 162 last year, but during Crenshaw’s first year there were 240.
