On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by the dynamic, passionate and polarizing lawman of Genesee County, Michigan, Sheriff Chris Swanson. Most recognized for dropping his riot gear and joining a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest in Flint, Sheriff Swanson and Hansen dive into the many projects and community efforts Sheriff Swanson has and is spearheading; from how G.H.O.S.T (the Genesee County Human Oppression Strike Team) was created to protect children and combat human trafficking, to working with music sensation Jelly Roll on the I.G.N.I.T.E program, and how together Hansen, Sheriff Swanson, and his team have identified and arrested dozens of men attempting to commit crimes against children, including a local doctor and former police officer! Sheriff Swanson is now setting his sights on the entire community of the state of Michigan as he’s announced his run for Governor and reveals to Chris if he has a shot at winning the office.
