MANATEE COUNTY

I'VE BEEN IN MANATEE COUNTY FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT THIS PARTICULAR TROOP IS ALWAYS SHORT STAFFED.
i'M SURE THIS IS A STATEWIDE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT A PARTICULAR TROOPER(DUI-TROOPER) R.M.

HE'S MY HERO, LMAO

HEY RICHARD, HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR DOG?[/b]

Come to Hillsborough. At the MOST there will be 8-9 troopers on the road during a 6a-2p or 2p-10p shift. That is .75 trooper per state road. On the weekends there may be 3-5 troopers on the road. It doesn't take a very smart person to see this is not productive.

There should be at least 12 troopers to just take calls and another 8-10 out there being proactive.
