A Conversation About Service, Perspective, and the Future of Johnston County

from Best of Johnston County® · host Jonathan Breeden

Why would someone run for sheriff after being hired by the same department three times?This episode isn’t about attacks or politics. It’s about perspective. I talk with Randall Ackley about what he’s seen on patrol, inside investigations, and from years of working in a rapidly growing county. When staffing can’t keep up, presence disappears. What does that mean for safety, trust, and the future of Johnston County?
