Hiring a person because they don't live in an area is just as bad as hiring a person because of who they know. Best to hire for what they know and their ability to execute their duties. And if that person happens to a local resident then so be it! Eric is a fine individual and would make a great Escambia County Public Safety Director. @ Matt

The way he rebuilt New Orleans EMS post Katrina was nothing short of a miracle. He’s an excellent leader and a veteran of the field. My vote is your Carl Flores.
