@ Kane

Seat belts are law…mask is not
There also is a lot of evidence in aliens
Not mask evidence as you claim.
You are welcome

I see a lot of mask hate here. I tell you what if it is a “personal choice” shouldn’t seatbelts be as well? I mean I don’t feel like buckling my kids up when I get in the car what a headache that is and don’t get me started on the car seat sheesh

And to those officers not wearing those masks think about how quick you are to write a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Masks are common sense and not only that there is a lot of evidence that shows they at least slow the infection rate to some degree.

With that out of the way I am very happy the Molino substation is open they definitely needed it. Cantonment could use one as well there have been a lot of vehicle break ins around the Kingsfield area these last few years some even had weapons stolen from them.

Almost every comment was about mask wearing. Stop with that nonsense. Don’t allow Covid to consume every part of your thoughts. It was,an outdoor event. This post was about a police station opening to protect and bring community together. I wish the ECSO would open up a sub station in Beulah.

For those saying “Mask Mask Mask”. I ask you to think about something.
For those who are hard of hearing or deaf and lip read, is it safe for an officer or deputy to have their face covered? How long will it be before someone says “You did not have to put your hands on, taz, shoot my mema? She just couldn’t hear you, she only reads lips”.

To all those complaining about masks, stop!!!! We dont want that drama up here in Molino. Your taking a good thing and throwing politics and different views into it. Lets focus on the big picture of this post which has nothing to do with masks. Theres no law that states you have to wear a mask up on this end of the county. Clearly you havent been into the dollar general up here were noone wears masks. Have some respect for this post. Congrats on opening the precint back up.

@ Lead by Example – do some research. Escambia county is NOT one of the highest counties in the state of Florida with COVID-19 cases. https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map/state/florida . The counties in South Florida have way higher numbers AND they wear their mask religiously. Personal choice. Protect yourself with the mask or masks that you choose. Don’t judge others if they don’t want to wear one.

Covid-19, the flu, etc., will get you one way or another. You don’t know who has taken the Covid shot(s). You do not know who has been with someone who has COVID, flu, etc. It is precautions we have to take now and in the years to come. The deputies wear mask, gloves, when arrive at a call for help. Why, don’t know what they will be confronting.

I attended the event and wore my mask. Although with an outside event it is not necessary, but I’m old and need to be closer than 6 ft. to hear you talking. Wear yours or not – it’s by choice at this time until it’s the law to wear one.

The day was interesting by speaking with Sheriff Simmons, visiting with the Deputies and their K-9’s and horses, special vehicles were on display, crime scene display, reading material for personal and home safety, great food and friendly conversations.

Don’t forget to lock your doors – vehicles, homes, businesses, outdoor sheds.
