No intelligence
That is the extent of your deputies intelligence here..........BLAH BLAH BLAH..WOW, great response!
The truth hurts and is all written in the local newspapers. I guess you are happy with the current system. Ask your cyber cop Roger if he has ever heard of the term cyber spoofing? Not everyone here is who you think they are. I understand your cyber cop has frighten many at your department not to use this forum for fear you shall be tracked and fired for speaking out. He could not be further from the truth.

Florida Deputy Inquiring About Department
Wow, I too was somewhat curious about the Sheriff's Department when I retire in three years and make my move to Murphy from Florida. I was considering maybe some part-time employment, but not too sure "outsiders" would be welcome. Not all of us look to come in and "show" the locals how it's done in the big city but instead embrace the small town slower pace of life while possibly offering any suggestions (if asked) on maybe a smarter way to do business. Politics is anywhere you go - it's a fact of life. As long as the thieves and crankers are put in jail - the process that is used doesn't concern me.

Just a mention from an floridain ex LEO
Greetings from the sunshine state. I was once employed in NC as an LEO and it is EXACTLY how it was described. You will bang your head until it bleeds because of the regs that have to be followed.
I refused to kiss "waldensian" ass and it was not good. I raised hell because we were more concerned about someone stealing hanging plants off a waldensians porch than the rolling meth labs all over the county.
Needless to say, I am no longer employed as an LEO in NC.
The chief at that time thought that his personal phone was bugged, he stated that every time he was on the phone he heard a beeping.
I asked him if he had call waiting and he asked "whats that?"
After asking the secratary, it was confirmed that he did have call waiting.
Nothing more was said and he refused to talk to me for several days.
NC is a world of its own and you have to bend to its ways to survive there. I was there several years and plan to return when i soon retire. BUT not as a LEO, I will do something that is relaxing. Less menatlly stressful.
I have quite a few friends who have tried to live there, doing various jobs and most have returned. They did not bend, they went there thinking that they could change things for some reason.
Living in Pinellas County, we are use to shootings at all times of the night, sirens of all sorts echoeing the night and ebony wolfpacks on bikes looking for something to steal. You have to scan the neighborhhod before walking out to your car as you also have to scan around you as you return to your car.Everyone you talk to has some sort of scan to take your money. Begger on every street corner and homeless people galore. Plus Everything is within a 3 minutes drive and there are 25+ movie showing around town. The beach is a 10 minute drive away and there is every type of food and tavern that is imaginable at the same distance.
NC is vastly different, you 9floridians) will have a serious culture shock (for the good).
But alot cannot handle it, ESPECIALLY if you are married with children.
I guess it is the same in reverse, a few NC friends tried to live here and were totally consumed and way over whelmed by florida.
Sorry to ramble on, I understand what was being warned to you and I also understand the floridian logic of "that its ok , I can handle it." I have been there on both ends.
By the way the reason I left as an LEO was because of the extremely low pay.
Hope this helps.
PS People from NC are a very close nit people, they seem to dislike change and any suggestions from floridians on how to change. They will fight to the death for a friend (bat-leo) and proud of it. They make great "scald cat shine" and at times seem to be the most backward state in the union. I met afew that could not read but sounded like a master armourer whne speaking about their weapons.
Remeber to bend and flow, if you can do this I cannot think of any other better place to be. They are a great people in a great state.
