Mib........I can only speculate that avoiding the decision making process that comes along with answering calls, making.arrests and conducting investigations keeps that political hot potato out of his hands..................

To RGS: What in fact is the answer as to why the Sheriff for the last 20 years or so has not been involved in day to day criminal type work? Is this mandated or just an agreement between the top guys. I do remember when Sheriffs were very involved in investigating and arresting criminals.
yawn, you still mad that i know who you are?
I didnt try to put him in charge of anyone, just trying to put it in simpler terms for people like you to understand. No hard feelings though, if you sleep better thinking you won one, go ahead.

It seems like a lot of money could be saved by combining these and eliminating one level of bureaucracy... Less government, right?...

Joe Adams thought his job was to police.....anyone remember him? Tough old buzzard, but as nice as he could be.
Oh, yes, jj, I certainly do remember "Mr. Joe," which is what everybody called Sheriff Adams, and he was often at crime scenes, just doing his job. It was hard for most of us to accept that anybody else could ever be our sheriff!!

You know, back then it was just an unsaid thing or at least I assumed that he was in charge whenever he was there. Just had that presence about him. I remember seeing him get mad and thinking "glad that is not me". And I have to add, when he put his hand on your shoulder, he was like a Dad talking to you.

Joe Adams introduced my Mother and Father at his business Joe's Lunch in the late 1940's. I knew he and his sons later in life and he was a really good man. He investigated cases and ran the Sheriff's Dept. very well. He did it with little training, just good common sense. He was a complete Sheriff in that he ran the County in terms of Law Enforcment. Things have changed now as the Sheriff has so many responsibilites. The old Jail held about 50 people I think and now we are looking at close to 900. Whole new Ball game. Just wanted to share my remembrances of Joe Adams the Sheriff of my Youth.

The mandate of the Sheriff is kinda gray as to budgets. However, he is definitely responsible for his Dept.'s budget. He is also subject to the whims of the County Commission concerning funding for his Dept. I personally believe that he should be more pro-active in demanding that LE have the funds needed to run the Dept. in an efficient way that would keep all of us as taxpayers from being on the butt end of Million Dollar lawsuits for things not done right at the Jail. I "heard" that some of his officers settled their part of the recent lawsuit concerning the death of an inmate whose family claimed that the SO knew he was in danger but did not have the man-power to protect him. He is now dead and the County is defending a Multi-million lawsuit. Sheriff's fault? I don't think so. County Commission's fault? probably, as they fund the Sheriff's budget and have not given him the money asked for in years. Who lost the most: The taxpayer's and the Sheriff. Who is winning at this point? The County's Law firm, they are racking up multiples of hours At who knows what rate to defend these actions that would not be necessary if Sheriff were funded properly. Winner: d**n Lawyers as usual,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!

No leave it as is. The one time I called 911 with a real problem, the county car went by my house while I was still on the phone with 911, and I ain't that far from Polk county
