Closure of South County Sheriff’s substation draws concern
Sarasota South County travel times to North County:
- Calculations are for one-way trips (double the time to return home)
. - Interstate calculation is based on it not being backed up, which is increasingly rare, due to exploding traffic and population growth:

I finally took the time to watch this interaction between John and Paul. Paul, if you feel threatened by someone pushing papers at you please don't ever leave the office. You are an embarrassment to law enforcement. This guy is telling people how and when to use force and he is threatended by a piece of paper! This is who is "leading" the law enforcement division? Somebody give that guy a participation trophy and a box of tissues.

Paul got defensive. A colleague described his behavior towards John as being "dismissive." Paul got a little bit holier than thou when he repeatedly said to Kost, "John, don't do this!" (or else what is going to happen?). I believe that John Kost will win the next sheriff's election, but nonetheless, it's going to get very tense because people with power and money don't give it up easily, unless they are forced out.
My advice to John for every televised interview is to always take a deep breath, even though you may have a compunction to "fill the airtime with talking" -- and calmly and SLOWLY articulate your intellectual position. On TV, slower or more deliberate responses are always always always better. An expert will always pause for the camera, at just the right time. Timing is everything. It's an unnatural art that frequently goes against instinct. In most cases, it must be learned.

All this from a guy who NEVER worked a day as a deputy! Thank you for abandoning the community that you say you serve. Sheriff, if you would take the time to listen to the radio you would hear "any unit in the area of" often. Ths means we no longer have a deputy to send to the people you say we serve. The current population growth shows we need more "boots on the ground" as you would say and maybe less management. This is what you get when a Sheriff is more interested in his own post retirement political aspirations than his current appointment.

That is a technical nuance that civilians will not understand (or they will only marginally understand it).
I remember hearing that the SSO patrol division is "25 deputies short of full staffing." Is there a way to get an official document that can be published here, to show that to the public?

It will be interesting to see if citizens can see through the smoke and mirrors of Knight's expository explanation.
The jury is still out. It appears that Knight expects citizens to believe him "just because it's him." However, he needs a dose of reality because he is a garden variety Joe who is wearing a uniform. The uniform is obviously special, while he is not, except in his own mind, of course.

There used to be staffing rosters but there were always an internal one and one for the public/press. The truth of the matter is that knightmare and Herr Hoffy will just lie and say that those vacancies are covered by "other" deputies. They'll say that detectives or supervisors are covering those calls for service. This would be much like the lie FlipFlop Paul said when he said that detectives work out of their cars.
