Major

Which PD do you work for? As far as I know every PD in H.C. has one working for us. Well now thinking about it, not sure if LP has? That won't be long though.

I am sad to read this discussion. We are a law enforcement family. If it weren't for the police departments we, yes I am a member of the HCSO, would often not have backup and vice versa. I can't believe that this kind of discussion takes place on this site. In fact everything that I read here is disheartening. We are professionals and as human beings we might not always like another person but as a family we should not be mean spirited towards each other. We are out here to keep the peace, now we should practice it and get off this damaging website. I have yet to see anything but hurt feelings as a result of bitter people writing sour words in attempts to inflict chaos in organizations and sorrow in peoples hearts. Please stop it, I for one appreciate my fellow law enforcment family. God forbid that your life depend on one of us some day. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

Unfortunately "Responder" is right. I am also proud of the Law Enforcement family that I belong to. I was just trying to offer my thoughts on something that seems to be a recurring theme here. You have the lovers and the haters, and they sit here under screen names like Buford and try to out-witt each other. Maybe I was a little too harsh, but anyway.

Also, I do not work for a PD in Highlands Co. Just an outsider looking in. Be safe out there, and Merry Christmas

I too am sorry. What you said really hit home. Sometimes its hard seeing your friends get bashed and you can't help but retaliate. This site is really meaningless and used for totally ubsurd things. Union issues, officers or their families in need, training, officer safety tips, and other useful info is what should be posted. Unfortunately, as long as anonymous postings are allowed, that will never come true. I too am guilty of that. Sorry PD Guy and hope you and yours have a safe and Merry Christmas. We don't have to all get along, but we all walk the same thin blue line, and we all subscribe to the same idea that good will always prevail over the alternative.

Providing a real name would provide more credibity to your post. It never ceases to amaze me how many people hide behind a phony name or anonymous posting.

Again, did the Major forget where he came from? If we were anymore micromanaged, he would need a telescope. Come on, pretty soon we will have to ask permission to breath.

Permission to breath freely - granted.

What is the deal with HCSO and the morale issue. I thought that Sheriff Benton had put in place competent people and things had greatly improved?

Maybe it's time for a new SHERIFF in 08!!!!!!!
