Sheriff Smith is a good man and cares for county

Dear Editor,
For quite some time, I have seen letters to the editor running down Sheriff Bill Smith. It's time someone spoke up on his behalf, and that's what I intend to do.His detractors have short memories. Camden County for many years has been the leading county in our whole nation regarding drug interdiction and cold hard money along with the narcotics. There have been times since Bill Smith took office that the cartel in south Florida has been considering hiring a hit man to kill our sheriff.
And the cash that has been received from these punks has been used for all kinds of projects for Camden County, such as police equipment, not only for the sheriff's office, but city police departments as well. And many dollars have gone to education and many other projects to improve our county.Bill Smith has a heart the size of a basketball, which at times has gotten him in hot water with trustees who have let him down. But he runs a tight ship at the office of the sheriff, and his staff, including Capt. Jim Proctor and the two Sears' (Charlene and Chris Sears) and Col. Charlie Easterling, too. Also, Chuck Byerly and the staff of investigators do their jobs well.And if any deputy sheriff gets out of line, he or she is gone. I have been in law enforcement for over a half century and I'm proud to live in a county where the officers are respected in the county and all our cities.
Thanks be to God!

Go to church Sunday!

Thanks for the letter Hugh.
I wonder if Col. Charlie Easterling is the one who is building a house in Woodbine with the help of the trustees?

Mr. Jenkins, I have never question weather Mr. Smith is a good man or not. I have only questioned his job performance, which is my right unless you think we as American should not have the right to question our elected officials?
