Matt was like family to me.. I’ve known him for years. We hung out almost every day before he moved, then we talked online. Matt… I can’t believe he’s gone.. He didn’t deserve it.

@ Oversite…the deputies that are out and about during the “Operation Clean Sweeps” are out there to do license checks and serve outstanding warrants…do you want to live next door or in the same neighborhood as UNREGISTERED sex offenders or people who have outstanding warrants? That is what these officers do during the sweeps in different areas! Think about what you say before you actually say it!

I have known Scott for 15 years. Worked with him for 5 years there is more to this story that is not being told for now. Scott has many friends that work with the Escambia sheriff department and I hope they resolve this soon. Scott is really a great guy and a really good mechanic.

I knew Matthew. He was a nice, friendly guy. He didn’t deserve this.

Bratt, sorry to upset you, but deputies are only ground pounders who follow orders, and I have no problem with them. However, sending law enforcers out to supervise trash collection is counter productive with the primary duty of protecting our community. Besides, coordinating trash pick-up is something that we pay code enforcement to do, and that department should be leading the charge; not deputies.

I can understand Oversight’s feelings regarding crime prevention; however, please show respect for our LEOs. They promote public safety and deal with idiots on a daily basis. Don’t infringe on their morale.

@ Bratt,

Oversight never posts anything nice about the Sheriff’s Office. Most definitely not a supporter!

I think community involvement by the SO, whether through Clean Sweeps or helping out in other areas is a good thing. You’d be amazed how many crimes are solved by people who share seemingly irrelevant information that in the end brings the whole big picture together. Without that community contact, it wouldn’t happen as much as as it needs to.

Thanks all LEO’s for all you do each and every day!

There’s a Gadsden street resident booked with homicide, I guess you can thank morgan for gettin him.. since he gets blamed for crimes he can’t control he might as well get credit for when they’re caught..
