Hello @429CJ, I never go to Flomaton unless it is to the auction house, most of the people I meet there are from out of town, I sometimes grab a hair cut across the street. I will casually steer the conversation to the subject though and feel the waters. Im not going to be worried, if they spot me, they will just think Im an old man walking down the street, completely harmless as I am.

You are right about nobody said you had to live in Flomaton but the Town of Flomaton did say that the police chief does have to live in the town limits but guess what……………he don’t. The SOP is not even being used, it is what the mayor and council wants, no matter what rules there are. It has been reported several times about the traffic on Poplar and Titi streets in the mornings during school of people exceeding the speed limit but there has still not been an officer out there checking on it. The chief said all we had do was call and let them know, well, we have called but they still have not done anything about it.

It seems that half the town of Flomaton likes this guy and the other half hates him. I would suggest if you like him great, if not, stay out of his way and give him a wide berth. There is no law that says you have to reside in Flomaton. I would think with all the roadways we have in the area, avoiding this joker should be no big deal.. Contingency planning never hurt anybody. Be courteous and clean.

Well first of all everyone needs to think verry carefully before yelling that the county should take over…..If I need the police I don’t want to have to wait no telling how long for an officer to respond due to them having another call on the other side of the county……We do need OUR local Police in our area.
We have had some good officers and some bad officers, but the bad ones are all many people remember….I do agree that some of them need to learn how to act like a professional Police Officer instead of kid with a new toy.

Let’s look at that salary issue. He is paid (according to Chris) $41,000.00 a year, plus he got a brand new vehicle to drive. The past chiefs made way way way less than him and they had more experience, so what does he have that they didn’t? It was said he was out for a sick relative,but his wife just had a baby and he was out for a week for that and now he is out again for a sick relative (just saying). Funny how he is out when things hit the paper. If that had been a regular officer that had done what he did, that officer would have been fired on the spot, so why is he different.Plus, how can they fire him and turn around and hire him back all in the same breath, he must really have something on the mayor or council. It looks as though if he don’t like you working for him then he will find a reason to get rid of you.
