Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:50:24 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=11311#comment-22807 Paula, I personally am very proud of the job that Sheriff Grover Smith has done in Escambia County Alabama. He has done more in 8 years than his predecessor (he that will not be named) did in 21. AND, with Mike Lambert returning to the Sheriff's Office, I feel they will continue to keep thugs off the streets. What you fail to realize is the difference in available funds. Sheriff Smith has to make due with less than 1/3 of what Sheriff Morgan gets to run a department and hire GOOD officers. Do you know how hard it is to get good, quality officers for $9-10 an hour especially when you are competing with high wages being paid in your county to make sure the Casino is safe. Then those officers are not only working the county, but areas of certain city's that will not even work their police jurisdiction. Further, the problem you speak of is not with the ECSO in Alabama, but the Police Department in the City of Atmore, who faces these same challenges. Small budgets, small salaries and competition with the PCI for good officers!! Hey Paula- do you have your Sheriff, Chief Deputy and most of the investigators’ personal cell phone numbers where you can contact them directly (day or night) concerning crime in you area? Do they come out and give you personal attention when you have a crime committed against you? Probably not- but we do!! So don’t throw POO across the state line about things you know nothing about!! Our Sheriff, Chief Deputy and officers are some of the best and dedicated in the State of Alabama. They may not compare in your eyes to the man you put on a pedestal (Mr. Morgan), but I bet even he wouldn’t come to Alabama and run our department for the salary that Sheriff Smith is paid. Paula,

Sheriff Morgan has put integrity back into the sheriff's office and is setting the bar for other politicians to follow....it's not just about making promises in order to get elected, but following through with what was promised once elected and not forgetting the people who put you in office.
