Clay Today will test your knowledge weekly and provide interesting facts on various topics. This week, statistics from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Unsurprisingly, the No. 1 complaint about the Clay County Sheriff’s Office is traffic stops. Motorists argue the light was yellow, not red. They wonder if deputies should be spending their time solving more serious crimes. They claim other cars went faster when they got pulled over for speeding. According to numbers from the agency, between Jan. 1 and April 16, CCSO made 10,248 traffic stops. But only 5,520 resulted in a citation. That means 4,764 – 46.5% – were given warnings. In just three-and-a-half months, CCSO received 4,974 911 calls and another 9,739 calls for assistance, leading to 1,314 arrests.
