Draft:Clayton County Sheriff's Office

The Clayton County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) is a law enforcement agency that serves Clayton County, Georgia, United States. It is headquartered in Jonesboro, Georgia, the county seat of Clayton County.

The sheriff's department has aroused national attention due to the practices of former Sheriff Victor Hill.

In October 2022, Hill was found guilty of 6 out of the 7 counts of violating the civil rights of incarcerated people, and was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison in March 2023.
