Thanks Mr Morgan for the ggod work. We are shown everyday that you care and we are proud that we voted for you. I see you still have some McNuggets in the ranks by a few of the comments below.

Sorry Sheriff but you need to check your transfers and facts. Deputy Hobbs was transfered from patrol to homeland security. The Captain is not a one man show as you put it.

When will we get an honest answer from you? As a commander in the Air Force I would expect you to handle a 1000 person office with ease, especially with an education and background like yours. Maybe you can cut some of those “contract positions” you have to add more deputies as they are not critical to the function of the office, just a suggestion.

Hey, my hat is off to the sherrif. In a litlle more than four months he has shown more interest in the north end, than the last one did his whole time in office. And thank you for grounding the helicopter, I would be scared to know the amount of money that has been burned up in fuel alone. The helicopter can be a valuable asset if the fat is trimmed from the program. I do believe that Sherrif Morgan will do his best to keep his word, but he is human and the problems that he inherrited with the job can’t be solved over night.

I agree with interested reader, Sheriff please open up the Walnut Hill Precinct.

At least Sheriff Morgan is addressing the problem which has gone so long swept under the rug. Hopefully, there will be enough officers to fill these positions. As much flack and criticism that is shoveled at these officers, I am surprised we still have as many as we do now, and let’s face it, the pay is not that great.

Sorry Sheriff Morgan but you will not be able to walk the streets of the Walnut Hill area. It is not safe to drive much less walk since we have speeders on every road up here. PLEASE open the Walnut Hill precient soon. We need it as it will help some of our problems to see a patrol car in the area. We know you can’t do everything at once but that nice new office has been vacant for too long. Thanks for what you are trying to do. We are behind you 100%.

Leys give the guy a chance – at least the North end is on his mind and maybe – just maybe – he will come through for us. He has given us a lot more attention in the few months that he has been in office than in the past – hopefully it will continue. He also seems to be making a genuine effort to be approachable and answer our (North end) questions and concerns – he certainally deserves an “A” for effort in that regard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That he gets out of the office and walks/rides the streets and talks to people – to me- shows that he is trying very very hard. I am sure he will make some mistakes and unpopular decisions (no one is perfect) but he deserves a chance and a little time to show what else he can do. Maybe he will even change his mind or somehow adjust the budget for a helicopter
GOOD LUCK SHERIFF – please don’t forget us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
