Rick,
Have you come across anything in the raw audit data which might be docking fees paid to Lang's Marina?
Or better yet, lunch or dinner for 5 or 6 at Lang's Seafood?
No, But I still have 2005 audit to post. I ahve not had a chance to go through that one yet. I hope to have it posted over the weekend.
Just Swa Charlene on TV. She said she likes to work with people. My experience is that she likes to work with people with status.
You only posted a portion of the 2006 Shared Assets Audit. Do you have the balance of that audit and when do you plan to post that?? Also, the 2007 audit should be done if the Sheriff is trying to get the Commissioners to sign off on it for the Feds. Looking forward to seeing the balance of 2006, 2005 and 2007. Thanks for posting these for the people living in the dark.
I would like to leave a comment. I saw a post that was inflaming. The poster mad a comment that only could result in inflaming the readers. It had not fact just a statement. people have done things as a recation to events that were unwarranted. So what I want to say is if you post something make sure it is truthful and verifiable. If you post an opinion state so. A picture speaks a thousand words but the perception of that picture may not be reality. What I mean is when you see an inmate wearing a deputies windbreaker ther may be a perfectly reasonable reason. Sensationalizing it and making judgements to not help the author prove is point since the evidence is subject to the viewer's interpretation. When someone post a statement about Who has the picture of jeff and bill that is irresponsible because there is only hearsay that there is a picture. As the author of this blog knows pictures can be changed too just to achieve a response. Please post what is factual. Do your research off line. Otherwise the credibility of the author is in jeopardy.

Could your parse this sentence for me?
"people have done things as a recation to events that were unwarranted."
What word were you goinh for with
"recation?"
Thank You.
"What I mean is when you see an inmate wearing a deputies windbreaker ther may be a perfectly reasonable reason."
...you're kidding, right?
Indeed. He could be in the act of escaping disguised as an officer.
There is no logical reason sir/mam. I wore that badge and patch for many years. When you wear a badge or patch you wear it for honor, pride and integrity. Not for money or any other reason.For that inmate to be wearing that badge is a slap in the face to all officers. The only reason he should be wearing that jacket would be if he was laying in the road bleeding to death and we need to cover him up. Not because it was windy that day on cumberland island. This is a shame and disgraceful, this is why 90% of the department has a problem with their boss, but keeps their mouth shut, becuase they need a job. I hope i have explained to where you understand there is no reason that criminal should display that badge, and if BTW was responsible when these pictures surfaced, someone would be answering for why that criminal was wearing that badge. But I hardly think so,, its time for a change.
"This is a shame and disgraceful, this is why 90% of the department has a problem with their boss, but keeps their mouth shut, becuase they need a job."
I'll betcha I speak for Rick and others when I say that those of us who have been critical of BTW and subsequently been falsely accused (knowingly)of being anti-law enforcement have assumed your asertion above to the case all along.
What a disgrace to the men and women who do there very best to inforce the laws here in Camden County. Where is btw's head at, apparently where the sun doesn,t shine. That made my blood boil seeing that pic of a Inmate wearing a Deputy's windbreaker. Is there any rules that these trusty's go by? I'm sure there is, but they are only selectively enforced. Damn I've seen it all now.
Jay, I am a law enforcement officer, and I have never felt you or Jay are anti Law Enforcement, I just get angry when half truths are posted and not facts. The inmate wearing that jacket is a disgrace and Makes me sick to my stomach,, I am ready for some new blood in that office, who has the same respect for that shield that I have,, this sickens me. Dan Jenkins wore that Badge and patch, I hope we all remember Dan, That criminal does not deserve to wear it.
Amen Brother
If you look up Pete Mercer's assigned vehicle (first page of vehicle list) you will see it is perfectly consistent with the white
pickup in these pictures.
When you draw up a purchase order for a vehicle to be purchased for a sheriff's office, do you generally order sport wheels and a chromed workbox? Do you generally find civilian decals on the back windows?
On the other hand, if BTW is buying employees' own personal vehicles, then paying for all repairs, insurance, and fuel, while the employee enjoys free and exclusive use of what was formally his vehicle, it all makes sense.
