Detective DJ Seals of the Covington Police Department joins The Town Square Podcast for Episode 92 as the show returns to regular programming after the Candidate Conversations series. Known by many as the familiar voice of local radio and Miracle League baseball, DJ shares his journey from broadcasting to law enforcement, his return to CPD, and the specialized work he now does investigating fraud, forgery, identity theft, and scams.

This conversation is both practical and personal, covering the emotional tactics scammers use through relationship fraud, fake warrants, toll texts, funeral scams, Bitcoin machines, and social media deception. DJ offers clear advice for families, caregivers, churches, civic groups, and older adults while also sharing his passion for community education, justice for victims, and the joy he finds announcing Miracle League baseball in Newton County.

Chief Fuesting addresses recruitment challenges, the role of technology in modern policing, and offers a direct answer to the question many residents ask: “How safe is Covington?” He also shares how residents may be able to support Police Who Care through Georgia’s Less Crime Act.
