After reading your editorial "Let the pros take over county security" (Our Opinion, Aug. 12), I felt compelled to reply.

The heading of your editorial implying that the county security officers are not professionals is an affront to the years of dedication and service that these officers, many of whom are retired law enforcement, corrections or military, have given to the citizens of this county.

I will readily admit that mistakes were made in the security breach that occurred in the Hillsborough County courthouse recently, but to call into question the professionalism of an entire agency based on one incident is a gross injustice.

You failed to mention in your editorial that these officers screen over 12,000 people a day, 3 million people a year and over 20 million people in the last 10 years, and no firearm has ever unlawfully entered a county facility. What makes that record even more meaningful is that approximately one out of every 94 individuals entering our facilities attempts to enter carrying some type of weapon or prohibited item.

I will gladly challenge any agency - public or private - in this country to match that safety record.

I will not disagree with you that the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is a highly professional organization, but as attested by the recent wheelchair incident, the conveyance of a firearm into a detention facility and a prisoner escape, mistakes can be made by employees of any organization.

The true yardstick to measure the professionalism of an organization is its ability to readily realize and admit when a mistake has been made, the determination to investigate the cause of the mistake and, once discovered, to take the necessary measures to minimize the chances that it will occur again.

I am sure that the sheriff's office did that in the incidents I mentioned above and likewise the county Security Services agency has done so in this incident.

Howronda Overstreet
TAMPA - Nearly three weeks ago, Howronda Overstreet (INFORMANT) set off a panic at the Hillsborough County Courthouse when she passed through security with a lighter that looked like a gun.

On Monday night, Overstreet, 31, (INFORMANT) was again the focus of law enforcement attention, Tampa police say. This time, police say, she assaulted one of their own.

An off-duty officer was working at the Tampa Live nightclub, 2600 E. Seventh Ave., when a man approached shortly after 3 a.m. saying he had an injunction against Overstreet (INFORMANT) and she wouldn't leave him alone, police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said.

According to Davis:

Overstreet (INFORMANT) jumped in the man's car and wouldn't get out. As the officer was trying to talk to the man, Overstreet was yelling at the officer and the victim.

The officer tried to put her(INFORMANT) in a police car.

As the officer grabbed her(INFORMANT) by the wrist, she (INFORMANT) scratched his right forearm, causing minor injury, an arrest report states. The officer told her she(INFORMANT) was under arrest. She (INFORMANT)tried pulling free and threw a punch at the officer's face, police say. She (INFORMANT)missed and police took her to the ground, where she continued to resist.

Overstreet (INFORMANT) was arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, obstructing or opposing an officer with violence, obstructing or opposing an officer without violence and violating a domestic violence injunction.

On Aug. 5, Overstreet(INFORMANT) brought an item through a metal detector at the Hillsborough County Courthouse that appeared to be a gun, deputies say. It turned out to be a cigarette lighter, but it prompted the evacuation of two buildings.

Investigators say Overstreet (INFORMANT)was at the courthouse for a court hearing and went through the normal security procedures with a gun-shaped cigarette lighter. She (INFORMANT)attended the hearing and then left before the evacuation, unaware the lighter was raising such a furor. Sometime that afternoon, a Tampa police officer recognized her (INFORMANT)from a security video, and authorities contacted her.(INFORMANT)

According to investigators, Overstreet (INFORMANT)said the lighter had belonged to her nephew, but she had taken it from him because it looked so menacing.
