The Key Peninsula is beautiful, but we learn there are a lot of remote areas that are hidden from the public eye that our deputies have to deal with on a regular basis. Watch as Deputy Betts takes us to an abatement from a 16-acre property littered with garbage, checks on a suspicious vehicle, handles a verbal domestic altercation, hangs out with the community, and takes us to some of his favorite places. We share these videos with you so you have an actual look at what it is like to work in some of the areas of Pierce County as a deputy.
