Toby,

You have alot to learn about people, I have been in law enforcement for over 16 years, not counting the 13 year in the military working in the same field. I have worked with Daniel since he was a CO at the County Jail and have been working with him in flomaton for over a year and I can tell you that Daniel is more than capable of holding down the job. Personely, I’m offended that you would even refer to him as a 12 y/o without knowing anything about him; guess your not from around here, but as a veteran police officer I can tell you this that during my career, that i have come across people that were 48, but acted 10, and 18 year olds that have wisdom beyond their age. Think about that before making blanket statement about someone without knowing them.

@Toby
You must not know Thompson for you to say things like that. It does not matter the age it matters how you can do the job. He may be young but he has been dealing with Flomaton for awhile now. He is there to stay! I tell you what. If something happens to you don’t call the department for help, help yourself. More then likely he will be there when you call and you sure don’t need a 12 year old coming to your house to help with what ever problem you may have. Hopfully you will never have to call but you never know:)
Thompson you are a great leader!!!!

I hope the town can get this all worked out. It seems like forever that Flomaton P.D. has been in the spotlight for one thing or another. It seems like a lot of money has been thrown into that department so they can have all the latest gadgets and gizmos and various “equipment” but, not much improvement in terms of public image.

The Mayor hand picked the Chief and he don’t want nobody telling him he done wrong!!!!!! Plain and simple. The Mayor wanted a “yes” man.

It was an honor to work with you for three years. And as for town.. coming from a previous employee of flomaton police department.. come voie your opinion not only for yourselves but for all of the wonderful employees who either quit or lost the jobs they know and love! March 12th at 630 pm. Again so extremely proud of you Thompson

a dentist would be a dentist wherever he went, but he wouldn’t necessarily be licensed or authorized to work everywhere.

Im not very knowledgeable of the law, but if this joker draws down on you in Florida and you light him up, you are exercising self defense, would that be correct? I just don’t know about all this, if I want to buy furniture, I can go elsewhere, good luck people. Scary stuff.
