Your simply OK with long respoce time and in-personal service. Due to the fact you may have never seen or felt it. We who choose to move into a city do so just for thet reason. I gives us the safety we want for our children and eldery ones. I could buy a Yougo but I drive a Frord for the features and saftey. I could buy any cheap matteress but we buy Simmons. We care about comfort and saftey. The SO will work us like 2nd rate citizens when we had the best that could be. Now we will have lower taxes and it will be easy for more lower class folks to move in and then incumbits will be voted out. Then we will rebuild. Free from personal gain and profit of the greedy. The few made a bad move here and it will be exposed for all to see. The many still have the power and will use it at the first opportunity. Its never about the wealth that's here its about the lower to middle class that want a place that's the best that it can be NOT the status quoe.

Brother in Blue  (by: Ray Napper  -   8/9/2012)

please stop spreading fairy tales, well no let's call it what it is when you don't know something and act like you do by placing a non-name up there to HIDE behind. You are a rumor monger or more close, a liar. When they talk about bad apples going to the SO I bet they didn't want anything to do with you. And yes AP went to her. Does she have a plan in case they all do they, I would certainly hope so. She'd be a pretty poor sheriff if she didn't have a back up plan. Brother in Blue, what a joke...sign your name "Brother" or are you afraid of something?

Deleon, the Mind Bender  (by: up all night  -   8/9/2012)

Yes Jeff,
Mr Deleon is a being from another galaxy with mind control powers strong enough to influence all those that surround him. His eeevelle ways are calculated and thoroughly reproduced in his massive brain. So powerful is he that his mere glance can devour your soul. Beware!

HCSO  (by: Jeff  -   8/8/2012)

The SO won't take over all of them, at least not without a fight from both Sebring and LP's chiefs. Although the majority vote on Saturday was for the SO to take over APPD, I feel as if Deleon is greedily laughing behind closed doors; it was his plan all along.

Benton  (by: Peterson  -   8/8/2012)

She is probably the most powefull Sheriff to have walked Highalnds County. She has accreditted her agency, and is simply not beatable in any election.

Just pretend:
You have recently ordered a package of green clothes because your blue ones were getting worn out due to misuse. You know you can order the green ones in standard polyester. You dont mind polyester, but prefer a nicer design with swaths of silk and gold cording with extra buttons, longer hemlines and spare packets of zippers. You also get an extra waistband!
Just try it on. But keep your receipt in case you want to return it.

Bad cops, good cops....  (by: County resident  -   8/8/2012)

And who told Benton we the county citizens want some of AP bad apples to be sheriff deputies? Screen them first and hire only the good ones.

sheriff vs police  (by: just saying  -   8/8/2012)

Deleon said "it requires a 90 day wait period" per the union contract. Then the article said" In the meantime, the SO has already taken over day-to-day oversight of the city". I heard officers are already starting training with the sheriff. There are not waiting. They already started.

HCSO Take over  (by: Brother in Blue  -   8/8/2012)

How long before HCSO takes over the entire county? What is the drive behind her taking all the PD's?
I know some will say AP went to her, but we all know it was a target already sighted in.
It is a travisty to see this county's history get flushed because of hurt feelings and greed.
