Election day is closing fast and its time to POLL our viewers. Currently their are a very few qualified candidates for the position. I have been requested to post this POLL for viewers to enter their feedback or comments or simply place a "yes" or "no" or undecided regarding a needed change in command. Let's face it like the Campaign 2008 for the Presidential elect we are in DIRE need of change. For some with low id numbers things have been status quo for years and could stay that way till they retire. Then there is the rest of the agency who feels it is DEFINITELY time for change. From patrol to civilian things can be and should be approached with a fresh face or ideas that are consistently ignored or given no merit by the current administration. Please take a minute to indicate your voice of change to vote out Dawsy and the current administration along with ideas of interest you would like to see resulting from the upcoming election. For example; schedule change(s) for patrol like four 10 hour days/nights or collective bargaining for improved representation of "RIGHTS" and grievienaces, shift bids, Overtime & Compensatory that doesn't currently exist.

The biggest and most important issue at hand is lack of qualified candidates to replace Dawsy. I understand Hank Hemrick is very qualified and brings a valued and fresh approach with years of experience to the table. He is willing to address each and every valued concern that is ovelooked by the current administration. He agrees we shouldn't walk or talk with fear of intimidation that currently exists. He is open to new ideas and values many of the current approaches to Community Policing, Affairs, Resources but feels they can be improved.

Ideally the many residents in Citrus that are viewers as well should post a response and remain informed on these issues by diligently following this forum.
