If I have something to say you'll know it's me.

Other than to say I hope you all stay safe, crime goes down, you all get huge raises, and you're all satisfied at work, none of the issues at ECSO...

I said on the PNJ forums a long time ago that I would do this job to the best of my ability regardless of who is sheriff just because that is who I am. I will not sacrifice my own self-worth and...

Come on Dooley. Once sworn he will, by statute, be an LEO and entitled to the use of such.

Redman, I like the name. Colorful names and those who adopt them have a certain panache to them, do they not?

Regardless of who the person supported I was wrong in saying that anyway. It is not...

Let's dissect this little morsel of some of Morgan's core supporters.

My statements defending McNesby were about fairness. I did believe he should be re-elected because I feared what we may end up with and as it looks right now I was dead on.

I gave Morgan some...

The problem with that logic is that the vast majority of our fellow deputies will stay here. It is for them, the citizens and the future of the agency that you should stay and take a role in making...

I worked the booth for Larry. I waved at a precinct on election day. I wore his shirt and attended his BBQ. I advocated for him any chance I got.

Larry is no longer in the process and I think we...

Rodney did not lose this election. This election was about "Change" all the way down the board. Had Rodney positively impacted 100 more people they would have each had to recruit 60-70 voters each...

Sheriff Elect Morgan,
I would like to offer you my congratulations. You will now have the opportunity to show we who participated in the electoral process against you the wisdom of your plans and...

I do lots of traffic enforcement, it's just something I like doing. The problem is, it is secondary to responding to calls in a timely manner. No matter how many times I try, often times I am unable...

I have spent a few days digesting my long talk with David Morgan on Tuesday night and I really don't know what to say. I still have issues with the way he figures his total law enforcement time but...

Let me translate for the dirtbag known as Blueman: "I won't respect the choice of the voters unless it is Larry." I will not respect my oath. I will try to stand in the way of Morgan's efforts to...

I actually questioned whether or not I should put on this board the question I most want to ask Mr Morgan for fear of him preparing an answer. The thing that has made me decide to post it anyway is...

I am former military myself and I appreciate everything the military has ever done for my country and myself, however, I recognize the limits of military training. I did not expect to be able to walk...

Eric Haines has articulated the reasons for his belief that Larry Scapecchi should be sheriff. Having a "big mouth" is easy to be accused of when you have so much worth saying and pomposity is often...

David Morgan has attempted to tie Lt Scapecchi into all wrongdoing by any individual at the Escambia County Sheriff's Office. If this is a fair question to ask, why did David Morgan (USAF) not...

David Morgan states that "Experience and Education Count" on his website.

Thousands of hours of Continuing Police Education and 25 years spent as a law enforcement officer DO count, but only Larry...

Is that you David Morgan?

I was not aware that a sign of respect and appreciation given to a supervisor was tantamount to the sacrifice of a goat to the volcano god.

The fact is I think no matter which candidate is elected they each understand the predicament we are placed in by our low wages so that may actually change sooner rather than later. The difference is...

It really showed how much diverse support exists for Larry Scapecchi; current employees, former employees, and unaffiliated citizens.

I have never worked for BC so I can not comment on his work ethic except to say that he has made Lieutenant in this organization and I respect that. He is a very intelligent man with letters to his...
