JONESBORO, Ga. - It's a new and expensive way to recruit and retain detention officers, and two metro Atlanta sheriffs are doing it.
Both the DeKalb and Clayton County sheriffs spent millions of dollars on fleets of electric vehicles. Not to move prisoners or search for criminals, but as a job perk, so employees can commute to and from work.

The sheriff is dressed up like a casino dealer 😭
LOL. Like at a Casino in Vegas.
I was thinking more of a ring leader at a circus. Honestly never seen any Sheriff dressed like that.
@@bluesuitreviews658 LOL!
@@bluesuitreviews658 LOL, you're right! All he needs now is the top hat and a bow tie.
😂😂😂
Sheriff is running his own ev car dealership. 😂😂
😂😂😂
facts lolol
Paid buy your tax dollars
Or by ?....
Only five words, and you got one incorrect.
@@BrandNewHeavy already pointed out....
@@davidrobertson5700So
How much of an under-the-table kickback did he get from the car dealer that sold the $3MM worth of cars.
Yeah look at his watch
Under the table…money…in his pockt
agreed.
Just looking at him makes me laugh 😂😂😂😂. What a joke.
A clown🤡
I thought the vest & stars were a joke. I was wrong. LMAO 😊😊
incompetent
Fire him!!
Corrupt
DEI
What a joke. citizens, keep paying your taxes !
The Sheriff has no basic common sense.
No, sheriff is a thief!@@cosmoray9750
Mismanagement of taxpayer money and he literally couldnt give a dang
Didn’t they realize he’s flashy when he interviewed for the job 😮
If they would have realized something was off then they would be accused of some sort of "ism" or "ist".@@yeudoi66
Did he just come from a Star Trek convention?
Wonder how does he serve the "president of the universe"??
😂😂😂😂
Are those vest regulation ... or tailor made to fit
He got a kick back from the dealership
You mean a campaign donation?😂
Who's paying for the license plates, registration, and insurance? And who pays when an employee gets in an accident with someone else?
Oh noo..... another Tahoe Tiffany 😮😮
TEFLON Tahoe Tiffany
Now that's really funny! 🤣
But that whole situation isn't that funny actually.. wonder how that whole investigation into her is going these days??
Is that fool wearing a gold watch !!! You been had !!!
Looks like Rolex to me.
Movado....hes trying to save money.
@@anthonyjeter4643movados ass!!!! that’s a 40mm day date starting price $45,000.00 I have one myself as my post is he independently wealthy of his sheriff job I mean really wealthy? That a full yrs salary for big percentage of his constituency think about it? Wow kicks backs and payoffs and look the other way cash spends good I’m guessing but most sheriffs are smart enough to keep it hidden till there well retired and gone from there district!! Just my 2 cents ? I could be wrong?
Waite a minute. That 5 star clown outfit is the Sheriff's uniform. This has to be a SNL skit. Their record keeping is a dry erase board. You can't make this up.
“Ain’t no way” 😆
Overspending--but he stood and spoke to reporters about it.
That uniform is as ridiculous as he is.
Seriously needs to spend on a new uniform. Buddy, more stars doesn't make you smarter obviously. This guy reminds me of a church leader in a fur coat.
I guess he stopped at five stars because he couldn't fit any more. Four is normal for a Chief of Police.
Lotsa gees shoppin' sprees! 🤑
THATS A SHERIFF?!?! He dresses like Michael Jackson!!! 😂😂
What is this fool wearing 😮
thats a sheriff? lol
What a waste of taxpayer money!
Get a job and get a free car.
Except they don’t own them and can’t use them for personal use.
@@Yosef9438 Not when it’s a lease and the miles are counted.
Maybe, but unless there is proof that this is occuring with this sheriff's department, your words literally means nothing at this current time.@@Yosef9438
Dirty as hell..but streets don't have no lights and trash 🗑️.. every where..cars flying over speed limit...i don't see what he's doing..he seems corrupt 😅
When you don’t hire on merit this is what you get people like him and fanni willis
Sheriff's job is to protect and serve
Imagine if the government stops misuse of public tax money. This is the reason why our taxes are so high
Exactly!! This is exactly why budgets should be taxpayer approved. He wants $3m for 99 EVs so his jail staff can drive them to and from work? The public gets to vote on it not a bunch of administrators that do the same thing and rubber stamp all requests. Public office is nothing but a cash grab these days.
Our taxes way to high. The stealing they do all taxes that ur just money grab stricken from the books and taxes down to 10%-15$ it should cover serving the people first. Immigration, war with whats left
Five Stars, make him a Field Marshall.
I saw “Atlanta” and immediately knew everything I needed to know.
Yes, why its called " Apelanta" ....
This Sheriff looks like a joke, no everything's he does are joke. Total corrupted 😂
Sheriff giving off Bishop Lamor Whitehead vibes
These people sprint towards corruption
Seems to be a Systemic Embezzlement gene in all of them....
Do these employees have to claim the use of the vehicles as income?
Yes.
Using a work vehicle for personal use is seen as a fringe benefit or a form of compensation provided by your employer. The value of this benefit is added to your taxable income for the year.
The taxable value of the personal use of a company vehicle can be calculated in various ways, such as using the IRS mileage rate for personal vehicle use or a percentage of the vehicle's fair market value.
In this case I would suggest using the IRS mileage rate.
Yes and if you don’t have a mileage log the IRS assumes 100% personal. It sounds like it is all personal miles and it is the employees who have to pay the tax. 😮
tax evasion may not be so bad after all
someone needs to follow the money as if the county wants to get new cars then the county needs to buy them not the sheriff as he should be buying what is needed for the cops and the office he runs not other offices in the county ... one would wonder with the sky high amounts he is asking ... is there misuse of funds going on
When the rest of the country is starving and know place to live DEI FAILURE.
What the Fux kind of unsubstantiated narrative is that?
@@Look_What_You_DidI think they said they were starving to death
Not to think about the insurance
Fire him now
Well he managed to get the job filled to 100 percent
Exactly
But for how long, is it still?
At least he’s not stealing the money and put it to good use for the employees.
Yep, you just keep electing people that look like you. Look all around the world. Notice which "people" don't have a successful nation of their own. It's your "people"
What’s up with the silly vest?
Who wouldn't want a job with a take home car and no accountability. Tax payer money should have more oversite.
Something is NOT adding up SMH
He needs to be thoroughly investigated
All them stars have gone to his head. WE SHALL ENRICH OURSELVES FROM GOVERNMENT
What a waste of money.
This dude was Victor Hills Boy 😂😂I’m not Suprised😂😂😂
who you calling boy? 🤨
@@jessihawkins9116can you read he said he was victor hills boy which means son.
@@jessihawkins9116he’s calling that guy in the clown outfit victor hills boy, why you got your panties in a bunch? Funny how people like you don’t understand free speech, see if you ban one word, any word, free speech is out the window. Just because someone uses a word doesn’t automatically make it racist which the term really means nothing anymore since people like you who call everything racist has made the term useless.
I moved out of Clayton Co years ago . Best move ever ! Truly a waste land now.
On Long Island the hierarchy in " volunteer " fire departments are riding around 24/7/365 in late model SUV's . They are seen outside malls , restaurants , bars and out of the area . Many are used as commuter vehicles , hundreds of miles a week . FREE gas , insurance and deprecation ! There are also " fire districts " with the same perks . Only as employees , their base pay is over $100 K , plus benefits ! The public has NO idea what is going on !
Somebody had to approve him getting the money for the cars..
Would have to go before the board, and a vote.
RIGHT! Somebody approved and cut the check!
This sounds like a legitimate disagreement about strategy, not incompetence or corruption.
Exactly. Most of these comments appear to be jumping on the bandwagon and could care less about the actual merits of the claims being made.
Whoever heard of a sheriff wearing red? Bizarre.
Well that a waist of money . Power Grid is not ready for EV yet .!!!!!!!! How about no Million Dollars . GIVE HIM THE BOOT🥾.
Judges AG's police officers, lawyers police officers, who's not crooked in Georgia. Corruption corruption corruption.
A sheriff wearing a 40k Gold Rolex , with a red suit vest, Versace shades, skinny slacks, and some gucci loafers. Only in Atlanta🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁
Wow.. the deliberate ignorance of a so called leader.. wow. Wasteful person.
CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP 💯😂😂😂
That is the silliest, most arrogant clown suit I have ever seen a public official wear.
Who decided he deserves to wear five stars?
Maybe those cars, as a job perk, will also keep employees from becoming corrupt
If they can get corrupted they were never fit for the job to begin with
More Atlanta Georgia BRILLIANCE!!! How much change did he put in his own pockets with that big expenditure on unusable sheriff's cars... Utter genius.
Where is my take home EV car? I work for the government.
Goverment buying electric cars to bail out car companys but not for practical purpose
He’s got that crooked pastor vibe.
No idea how miserable those jobs are. No idea. Amd getting healthy people to do them is like impossoble. They have way better options if they know the balance of healthy, reasonable, and yet proper per protocol. You literaly jave to provide a dynamic where its not so bad eventhough i have better options, its fits what works for me for now, and hopefully for now is more stable and reliable people concept. This is a very reasonable decision in some spaces.
I agree.
That's the sheriff? He looks like the guy who sold us stale popcorn at the theater.
What is going on in Central GA? Douglas County probate judge removed for incompetence after wriggling $280,000 a year from the county? Now this guy? What in the actual hell is to stop this insanity and gluttony?
Wow. Disturbing choices being made here.
2:20 sheriff looks ridiculous and appears to be overcompensating. nothing says inferiority complex than flashing and screaming clothes that i am a sheriff. respect my authority lol
I’ve NEVER seen a Sheriff dressed like Joe COOL except in the movies. Someone should probably tell him, he’s not a Movie Star but a Public Servant.
This is what happens when the gov we pay taxes for throws our money at pigs instead of investing in US!
Lock repair????
What the hell kind of a sheriff is that! If our sheriff asked for money like this, they would say hell no!
its ebony o nomics😂
Why is everything so out of control
Is that his clown costume?
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS COP WEARING?
I love getting dealer discounts but dealer kick backs are even better especially if you have a fleet of vehicles.
BUSTED
Someone please take there checkbook away!
So....the American Red Cross's slogan used to be "Do iit for the cookies". In this case, "Do it for car?"
This is waste of tax payer hard earned money. That person should not be incharge of anything. He need to loose his job and all that are involved in this waste. And get get rid of all the detention officers that he hired as well. They are no good and can't be trusted. This is fraud.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Chevy Bolts you mean the discontinued vehicle!
Wow........
Actual news.........
Amazing.........
This is one spending crazy civil servant. Fire him now!
He'll get a $7500 rebate for each of them. That's where the tangible cash is at.
WOW He is a "5 Star General Sheriff"
Two words for the sheriff, the first one is dumb, the second one is 6 letters and starts with N 😮
Absolutely ridiculous
Take home cars are pretty normal in today’s world. But what the hell is he wearing?? Geez
This is what happens when you have a usual suspect pretending to be a sheriff.
There are plenty of pale face cops crooked
He looks like he belongs in a circus as the "ringmaster" with that uniform. 5 stars - what a joke 🤣
When you hire and elect based on race this what you end up with 😢
He's rockin his bishop on Sunday vest and he d@mn near blinded me with that obnoxious gold watch. Put him out, have an audit, and then put him in jail.
I feel like in every country across the country when any one of their officials want to make a large purchase the citizens of that county get to take a vote on it first.
With all these negative comments we should see a huge up tick in people running for office next election.
I smell kickbacks
I'm sure that he got a sweet deal.....
This is what happens when you trust people. I trust no one but me and me only.
I wonder if the employees are reporting to the IRS for the use of those vehicles.
Sounds like a DEI hire
I look at this man and I smell incompetence and corruption. Rein him in or fire him!
