    The Villages

    Do you guys patrol the Villages or is that a private security? Also, how is your agency to work for? I'm looking to relocate in a few years. Thanks

    Sumter SO patrols part of the Villages. The Villages are actually located in Marion, Sumter and Lake counties. Sumter is great to work for. Probably the best of the three counties that the Villages cover. The sheriff is great, under sheriff is great, good pay for the area and the court system is great as well.

    I am also looking to relocate. I was wondering about different things at your department. Moral, camaraderie, shift hours, pay scale? I'm currently employed with a local agency, but live in sumter county and I hear that sumter is a very good place to work. Thank you.

    Sumter seems to be great agency to work for. Pay is pretty reasonable, and there are details to be had. We all have good equipment and our administration has our backs.

    Nepotism, is the requirement to work here! Approx. 75% are related and doesn't matter what background they have. Sheriff's never around, he's working on his next career. Jordan runs the show and if you aren't related good luck, you'll never go anywhere. God forbid you write a ticket, to the wrong person, you will be punished. A Captain was just promoted to Major over the jail, a position that didn't exsist. So much for watching the budget and employees not getting raises. If you commit a crime and end up in the Bushnell Hotel (Sumter County Jail). This is the place to do your time! The Major makes sure you receive pizza parties, flat screen T.V.s with cable, refrigerators, microwaves at your disposal, special visits with your family, free postcards to write other inmates, without having to go thru the postal system, and more, because they're stressed being in jail! Don't forget any legal drug you want, narcotic etc. This is what happens, when someone who has no experience in a jail, is put in charge. See crime does pay! If your an officer, good luck getting anything!

    This is who you will working for Maj Brannen

    Former Tavares police Capt. Gary Brannen will not be prosecuted in connection with an allegation that he held a loaded gun on a fellow officer for up to two hours.Bill Gross, chief prosecutor for Lake County, said Thursday he had interviewed the officer, Sheila Baker, and another woman who might have witnessed the gun-pointing incident.''She does not want us to prosecute,'' Gross said of Baker, an officer at the Tavares Police Department. ''And the facts as we know them now justify her request not to prosecute.

    By Wesley Loy Of The Sentinel Staff, November 9, 1989
    The second-in-command at the Tavares Police Department has resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct and death threats against a female officer.Capt. Gary Brannen submitted a one-sentence letter of resignation on Tuesday, a day after he was told by Chief John LaFond that he was under internal investigation.The chief started the investigation based on a complaint filed with Mount Dora police by Sheila Baker on Monday. Baker, 34, is an officer with the Tavares Police Department.A Mount Dora police report says Baker asked officers for an extra patrol near her home in Mount Dora because of threats made against her on Oct. 21. The report doesn't explain why she didn't come forward immediately.

    Please feel free to go to the Orlando Sentinel and read what kind person Major Brannen really is, formor Sgt Brannen. These are the kind of administrators the Sumter County Sheriffs Office employs. Please let there be a God and when the old school red neck adminstrators leave take him with you.

    Exactly what the previous article states, if you are not related to a an admininstrator or spit tabacco forget getting promoted.

    Re: The Villages

    Why dont you ask Major Brannen about the quto he has given the deputies, road pateol deputies have to have a one in each catorgory and traffic units must have a 100 tickets each month. So much for having ethics.
