The Richmond County Sheriff's Office can now say it's been on an entire TV series.
On Tuesday, CW aired its two-hour season one finale of "Police 24/7." Augusta has been featured in nearly every episode since it aired on May 7. Also, RCSO's scenes made up about half of Tuesday's finale.
The episode opened hot with deputies responding to a gunshot wound. They found the body of a man in the street. It was blurred out to audiences. A nearby woman identified him as her boyfriend Myron. She was taken into custody. The show said three people were charged and a fourth is at large. Based on when the show was filmed and where the body was found, this was likely the murder of Myron Garnett, 32, at Verdery and Oak streets in November. Previous reporting indicates Cameron Levert Williams, 19, and Shakeichia Jackson, 30, have been arrested.

This incident was followed by another with a stolen vehicle at the BP at Washington and Stevens Creek roads. It was soon found with minimal damage on Idlewild Drive, which is behind the Walmart on Wrightsboro Road.

The episode's fourth incident was a traffic stop at Walton Way and Meigs Street. The vehicle hit a curb and kept going, even though there was clearly damage to the vehicle. Georgia State Patrol was brought in to check for impairment, and the driver's blood alcohol level tested at 0.262, more than triple the legal limit.
The episode's sixth incident involved battery between two neighbors. While the alleged aggressor was identified and taken into custody, upon further investigation, it turned out the victim had two warrants for aggravated stalking.
At the start of the later half, there was another Augusta gunshot wound investigation. Deputies found a woman who'd been shot in the leg at an apartment complex. She was sitting upright and was conscious, though seemed scared. However, because a gun and shell casings were found with the victim, it's not certain who was the aggressor in this situation.
A little further in, there was a physical altercation between two women. Some of the details were unclear, but during the fight, one of their phones was smashed and one of their windshields were hit with a rock.
Augusta bookended the finale by ending with another incident in the Garden City. It showed a traffic stop outside the Dental College of Georgia for not having tail lights on. The driver's license was suspended, and upon further investigation, they found drugs in the car.
Every episode of "Police 24/7" is available to watch for free on cwtv.com and on the CW app, which is available on smartphones as well as smart TVs. The finale was split into two episodes for streaming.
