It had to do with a Million dollars worth of radio gear. The city elected not to fire him because he had already left. some of you may wish to go line to the Dothan Eagle and see what was going on in Dothan just before Powell left.

He and his family have always nice people. Yes, he has worked for several different agencies, but he can't be put down for going to better things when it is out there. He was fair, but strict when he was the Chief in AL. Some people did not like it. I think that he will do the Escambia County citizens a Great job. GOOD LUCK JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His uniform makes him happy and does no harm. Since he's the only one wearing one exactly like it, or I think he is, it isn't technically a uniform, rather a fashion statement or with the very worst possible interpretation, playing dress up. Regardless, not big enough a matter to worry over. David for freedom to dress up REGARDING:

Like Mr. Godwin previously posted, it is better than it has ever been. We do not care what he wears as long as he is properly dressed and and operates his watch in a professional manner.

I respect that. But 1 deputy after 0200 hrs in an area that goes from Pine Barren Rd, south to West Roberts, over to the Santa Rosa line, over west to the Alabama line is unnaceptable. My taxes I pay are the same as the folks south of Nine Mile Rd. Just saying. A couple Narcotic arrests and stings here and there is normal. Every sheriff has done that. It is nothing he needs to toot his horn about. Thank you for your Military service Disappointed. 429SCJ you have a right to your opinion. I respect that.

For your information, I did serve my country for more than 20 years and I awarded over 15 personal medals for military merit from good conduct to meritorious service medals. However, I don't pin them on and parade them around on some made up uniform to make myself look better or to "out do" someone else as "wondering" put it. 429SCJ,

I fail to see the problem with sheriff Morgan's uniform. I suggest you check out the uniforms worn by many metropolitan police chiefs. I have seen many sheriffs that wear a suit or jacket tie and blue jeans, some wear a uniform. My focus is on how sheriff Morgan has performed his job and I feel he has performed well, I hear complaints about not seeing cruisers at 2am, well consider the hour. I would imagine they have to respond in areas with crimes in progress. I know Molino has always had a reputation as being home to some rowdy people, believe me there are far worse areas in our county. I support sheriff Morgan for competence in his profession, not his fashion sense. I assure you I am not mad, just wondering? Hello Wondering. I fail to see the problem with sheriff Morgan’s uniform.

The truth is Morgan looks like an idiot wearing the military uniform with all the medals he earned 25 years ago. He is Sheriff now. He needs to wear what every other Deputy wears. He needs to quit trying to out do everybody else. Another thing 429SCJ, it appears you get real mad when somebody does not like your sheriff.
