Bamberg City Considers Police Merge | Augusta Georgia News

Bamberg city leaders are eyeing a major shift—possibly dissolving their own police force and handing law enforcement over to the Bamberg County Sheriff’s Office by 2027. The mayor sent a letter to county officials in July, and the city council will debate it at their August 10 meeting. Local business owners like Raviraj Gaikwad appreciate the current police presence for safety, while others like Joseph Irons support the idea if it boosts overall security. The outcome remains uncertain—watch for what happens at that August council meeting. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
