Besides his top heavy admin and brownnosers get paid too much for pretending to work oh and his hr staff is unbelievably twofaced and backstabby like his upper level people. he is actually worse than mcnesby and seely and grant where the administration and faveorites are concerned. not sure why Simmons threw in with him, his reputation is going to get shredded now. @ajt – He isn’t capable to work a shift, he isn’t qualified or knowledgeable enough, he would have to have a training officer with him the entire time which defeats the purpose.

Nor will they be considering how it's coming about. If you have a problem and post with anonymity then you should assume that the public (myself included) will not believe it's an issue. It's just something personal. I think the Sheriff is being realistic. I voted for him and I regret it. None of the issues in the comments are known to the general public.

Maybe the Russians had a hand in this also? (Tongue in cheek). No matter who is in charge of this agerncy he/she cannot please everybody. If high crime areas are targeted with a high police presence they are accused of racial profiling - if these areas are ignored law enforcement is accused of not preventing crime. Funeral escorts are an old Southern tradition and will fade by the wayside in our modern fast paced society. We accept disrespect of our flag - so why not change and conduct funeral services at the graveyard and transport the body there ahead of time. I cannot think of any other country where police officers are needed in schools. Maybe its time for society as a whole to look into a mirror and see who is responsible for the mess this country is in!!! Amazing article – 54 negative comments, yet this Sheriff got re-elected?

A real leader doesn't take his toys and run home when he doesn't get his way. He finds a way and earns the respect of his subordinates. This guy is a joke, a fool and a charlatan. Or in his own insipid language...etc, etc. Used to live in Pensacola and can’t stand to hear this self important windbag when WCOA has him as guest.

Trying to make BOCC look bad and either run for commission soon or P'cola Mayor against Robinson and trying to make Robinson look bad. All at the expense of deputies and citizens...just a production...politics...Can't they just do a good, fair job? This stinks.

Just about every call they run requires backup. Two in a vehicle would fix that. I also agree on the Tahoes.. there’s no reason they can’t ride in pairs and save fuel.

A five year study by 10 separate agencies showed that over a 5 year period, the Tahoes cost on average $5,500 less (maintenance and fuel) that any other patrol vehicle on the market. Mostly because GM parts are mass produced at a greater rate that all others. Chevy uses basically the same parts on all their 1/2 ton to 1 ton vehicles.

Almost everyone's salaries in the NWF area are lower than the rest of the nation! I work for the State in a professional occupation, Nursing, no raise in 10 years, good evaluations. When compared to any area in the nation...NWF nurses are way below others salaries....so what, who's gonna fix that? It's the price one pays for living in this area. It's not just police or nurses...it's almost every working person in our area. I'd love to see everyone living in this area make more, but it's not going to happen.
