Barber shop soap boxer.
I was able to speak to about 10 people in the local barber shop recently about the closing of South County and the movement of the detectives to Sarasota. Most had already heard of the desk deputies being taken away but none had really understood that the detectives were working from an office in Sarasota. I was able to help them all understand the implications and logistical problems that come with working from Sarasota on cases in Englewood, Venice, and North Port. None of them knew about Knights arrest or his brother's problems and none knew about Hoffman stealing gas from the citizens. I have been telling everyone that I can about this administration and their lack of concern for almost everything that does not involve the betterment of themselves.
It is grass roots talking points, like I do to anyone willing to listen that will allow us to rid ourselves from Knight and Hoffman. We have been told time and time again that we do not matter. I beg to differ. People are willing to listen. Everyone loves gossip. Spread the truth. Now is the time. Keep speaking up. I know I will.

It’s almost comical how employees are lectured on being “rightful” by hypocrites who know nothing of it. Unfortunately with the current command staff it will never get better. The wolves have the run of the hen house.

Mr. Knight has abolished multiple community policing stations and instead of lobbying the Sarasota County commissioners for a brand new jail in central Sarasota County (around Knight's trail park), Mr. Knight lobbied for a new headquarters on Cattleridge Road. This is gross incompetence because Mr. Knight should have been planning for a new jail 10 years ago, but instead, he got himself a brand new headquarters -- and the jail remains problematic.

Which is more cost effective for countywide taxpayers:
- CHOICE A - Closing down south county HQ & building a new grandiose north county HQ (that is out-of-reach to south county residents)?
. - CHOICE B - Or building a new and bigger centralized jail?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Knight chose CHOICE A. Wrong answer!!!!
- CHOICE A - Closing down south county HQ & building a new grandiose north county HQ (that is out-of-reach to south county residents)?

Don't forget Homeland Security
He also got rid of the homeland security unit, that had a fantastic level of cooperation with our federal counterparts, now they are called the intelligence unit and they basically have nothing to do with working any cases on both the state and federal level. There are very dangerous people around us but without having the proper security clearances we will never know. What a shame!

How true is this statement!! Then I love when citizens come up to you and say wow your Sheriff is a nice guy and he has the SO running right, how I wish I could say, actually the place is a disaster, the Sheriff is nothing but a bully, as an agency we don't get along with anyone anymore, we have a Captain and a Major who are out of control. We have systematically been closing down locations and units for years now with south county the people are beginning to understand!
No south jail
No south county office
No desk officers
No south detectives unit
No SRO's

Sheriff Knight says “We don’t do anything in an office”

For a guy who has never worked a single day as a Deputy or Detective he sure knows alot! If he ever turned on the radio he would hear "any unit in the area" every day. Hey dummy, this means we have no units available to send to calls! And all those detectives he has out in the field are only in his mind. This guy is either mentally ill or on drugs. As the county grows in population the number of deputies on the road remains the same. It's math Tom, more people, more calls, more Deputies needed to serve them.

passive-aggressive
- Why is Knight telling Kost to "personally" call him?
- And why is Knight telling Kost that he will "personally" pay him a visit?
- Is Knight going to beat-up Kost?
- Habeas corpus? (Habeas grab ass)
Knight's passive-aggressive comment sounds oddly aggressive. Knight's reaction is frankly very strange, and yet it's par for the course. Nothing has changed.
