A pricy, massive book about "The Sheriffs of Florida???"
.
Here's what I have on this new reference book, "The Encyclopedia of Florida Sheriffs 1821-2008" compiled and edited by Victor R. Silvestri. Two Volume Set, Hardcover, 900 pages + CD. It is a comprehensive listing of over 1600 sheriffs who have held office in Florida since 1821. The price per two volume set is $117.00. It is published by Heritage Publishing Consultants, Inc. 1-800-568-1611. I think they are handling his credit card purchases. He lives in DeFuniak and is handling some of the check and money orders for book as well as having some book signings. That address is Victor R. Silvestri, Editor, The Encyclopedia of Florida Sheriffs, 561 Tall Oaks Road, DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435-8972.
Wonder how many sheriffs have been fined, arrested or gone to jail since 1821?
My prayers are with the men and women who make up the rank and file of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office. As in any law enforcement agency, most of the employees are honest, hard-working, and wear their badges with honor. But now there is a cloud and a stigma over all of them, undeservedly. 
Has anyone been following the saga of the Wakulla County Sheriff, who hit a parked car and DID NOT STOP after *allegedly* having a few drinks with dinner, in his COUNTY SUV?
Not a deputy sheriff, but the actual elected Sheriff??

beat me to it. with all the shenanigans going on up here, we're practically writing the book for him.
Anyone in trouble always seems to run to the Florida beaches. I was watching 60 Minutes, the guy being interviewed was a reporter from So Fl and he stated "If you tilted the US, all the sludge would run down to Fla."
Its just a place to escape to.
As far as corruption, these things happen everywhere. We all have our share. They break the laws because they can. In the past nobody could believe it but in recent times we are seeing the real picture. As long as they keep things safe for us we'll have to bare it and hope the crooks get weeded out. Eventually they'll get caught.

...but it may take a bit longer if the folks who are given the job to keep us safe and weed out crooks happen to be crooks themselves.

And I was thinking the same thing. Fuel for Hiassen seems abundant.
