Clayton County sheriff’s office takes “keeping the streets clean” literally.

Sheriff Victor Hill said Tuesday two units with the Sheriff’s Klean Initiative Program hit the streets every day to pick up trash and remove graffiti.

“In 2015 alone, according to the records of the county landfill, the SKIP unit has removed 272 tons of trash and debris from the streets of the county,” said Hill. “Despite this tremendous effort, our job is nowhere close to being done.”

Studies have shown through the “broken windows theory” that in addition to hammering down on criminals, it is important to maintain the look of the county so that it does not even give the appearance of being crime ridden, he said.

The units use inmate labor to work to give Clayton County a cleaner appearance to encourage residents and businesses to locate here.
