As you would imagine, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office generates a lot of “paperwork” in the form of written law enforcement reports and the myriad of documents generated during the investigation of a crime. The responsibility for maintaining that paperwork, properly documenting it, and storing it for quick retrieval is one of the many responsibilities of the agency’s Records Section.
