Richmond County is a county in Georgia; it houses Augusta and several smaller communities. Richmond County has a population of approximately 205,000. Police say that prostitution is a problem locally, and they have used tactics to combat demand, primarily reverse stings and identity disclosure. Sex trafficking is also well documented locally. However, police have said that they seldom do reverse stings because they are labor intensive and because of the competing demands on their time and resources.
