Please dont bash the men and woman who are LEO. Yes...I know alot of LEO's in PBC....they have their issues with the county they have to deal with everyday. Look how big PBSO is....even in a small company, (I own one) there are things that occur that upper mgmt doesn't always catch until - after the fact -. Though it happened maybe 5 times in 5 years but thats becasue as business owners, parents and a vital supporter of our community...Communication is everything but first and foremost is honesty and integrity in all you do. Like in any entity...there are those with bad agendas. There are the upper levels of mgmt that dont always findout until good people get hurt. Suggestions are always needed and hopefully desired in any line of business. We all have things we can improve upon. I just disapprove of persons who feel that the community doesnt hear things which casue the public to be disgusted. I know people are upset with alot of things, but to in anyway let our LEO go out there when they are dodging bullets for our safety...feel as if we dont care. I know my family does just like the night I got a call that an off duty LEO stopped to help someone in a broken down car and got shot. Take the time when you do see a good thing happening by one of our LEO's to commend them by going to the official PBSO website and submitting a report about it. We always hear of the bad things not very much of the good things. remember, if you have never needed a LEO before...the day you do you will be thanking them becasue they do live to serve and protect and then pray they go home safe to their families. yeah yeah...bad apples everywhere I know so dont go there. Just thank your lucky starts we have dedicated men and woman. WOW! Please dont bash the men and woman who are LEO.

We need our public servants (cops and firefighters) and need to save taxpayer money by slashing free money to do nothing, non taxpayers, who just suck on the welfare teet their entire life. Leave the cops alone, and go after these burdens to society who don't work, but get thousands a month. That is the taxpayer waste, you should be crying about.

Most of you don't want to except this, but it is true and you should eductae yourself before you start throwing darts. For specialty unit such as swat and explosive ordinance, you should want them to have their vehicles with them at all times, so they can respond immediately with all their equipment to resolve an active shooter or other critical incidents. I know most of you are sheep and don't really understand the dangers all around you. Hopefully you will never be a victim of a violent crime, but if you are I willing to bet you will want the swat team as fast as possible and will not want to wait for them to drive their p.o.v to the sheriff's office to get all their euipment and then drive to eliminate a viloent threat. That would add at least an hour to their response time, and many others will be dead in that time. Stop whining and take your head out of the sand and realize a large majority of cops are great honorable people, who are willing to put their life on the line to save yours. How much is that worth to you? Would you be willing to lay your life down for a stranger? They chose this career because (for most) are honorable and courageous and they deserve what they get paid and our thanks. The take home car policy saves taxpayer money.

The military is defnateky underpaid for what they do. But, I am sure cops would be happy to take a pay cut if the government is going to pay their mortage, feed them three times a day and give them full free medical care. That is a rediculous argument and you people are morons.

A buyout isn't a bad idea to get people to leave across the board, but not the way this one has been structured, targeting just a select few.

He does huge "favors" for people that donate generously to him becoming Sheriff. Favors that cusp being right on that fine edge of the law. He and his "Officers" are disgusting! I better not say anything further or someone might call Mr. Bradshaw and the cops will show up at my door with some excuse to arrest me. Sound familar? Rick Bradshaw is a creep.

No, they made an informed decision to apply for the position. I'm sure there are multiple reasons for this choice - BUT it was a choice. The deputies also have the option of leaving the position at anytime if they don't like dealing with the public or the criminals. In return they receive excellent pay and benefits. And lately I've read reports of their vehicles being broken into with their weapons stolen - so how exactly is that keeping crime in the neighborhood down? 99% of all law enforcement officers do an excellent job and make the community a better place to live - but that doesn't mean we should pay them exorbitant salaries at the expense of everything else.
