    Who's going to pick up all the campaign signs after the election?

    I think it is actually illegal to interfere with the political signs but it is nearly impossible to convict unless the witness wants to come forward. I too have seen my candidate's signs disappear and another candidate's sign appear in the same exact spot and also have found my candidate's...

    Candidate Guide in the Walton Sun

    Re: F.O.P Endorsement of Rick Brown for Sheriff The Fraternal Order of Police is a brotherhood, whose members are law enforcement officers. You are correct, the F.O.P. does not have a chapter in Walton County but that does not mean its members know nothing about the county. Many of them are...

    Candidate Forum at SoWal High 7/31 report

    Because Mr. Cooper was already endorsed by the FF Union, he was on the SWFD Board for 6 years and did a good job is what I have heard. So the FF Union felt he deserved their support.

    Drivingthru, idlewind on 080108 said Rick Brown was only a deputy a short time, inferring Mr. Brown had little active law enforcement experience. I was simply stating the correct information

    After much research for sheriff

    R. Brown waited until he had put in his resignation before filing the complaint. He also has bills to pay and could not risk getting fired before he was ready. Please check with the WCSO about gang problems in our county. According to those IN the sheriff's office, there is NO specific gang...

    Time for some to drop out...

    Yes many (not all) of those people I spoke to do not live in our county, however, it does matter what those people say; their opinion of Rick is from personal knowledge and is a point of reference for all of us to listen and learn about Rick. You are correct about many of our deputies...

    Time for some to drop out...

    Yes, we do need a leader for the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. We need Rick Brown. He has excellent law enforcement management skills. Rick’s ability to lead and to manage people has been shown in the fact that many of the officers who worked for him at FWB PD have made it clear that they...

    Another Complaint Against The Sheriff

    SweetGal, Don't you wonder what Mr. Atkinson's next jump will be?? He has not shown any loyalty to the city that voted him into his position; will he show loyalty to our county? And as Idlewind said, many DFS PD people USED to be employed at WCSO?? Will they be leaving DFS PD as well if Mr...

    Danny Griffith prefiles for Sheriff

    Badges, you are correct about promotions around here, especially in Walton County; promotions AND demotions! Don't know about Danny's "Official" qualifications but do know he did a superb job with the boy who was in the car when his Mom drove off the 331 bridge recently. Danny may have years...

    New Publix on Hwy 98 in SoWal breaking ground

    SJ, I agree with you! Kelly's is a nightmare and its high prices are a shame. I was told a while ago that the reason Kelly's prices are high for their inferior, often old products, that their store appears dirty and unkept, is because the "powers that be" believe most of their customers are...

    DFS Herald Sheriff's poll. Who has your vote?

    FactsB4Fiction; Rick Brown is currently employed by WCSO. You can call him to set up a time where you could meet him to make an "informed" decision. You just may find he is more qualified than Mr. Sconiers. I know that Mr.Sconiers is a fine and hard working honest person and dedicated to law...

    Sheriff race expands

    I just found out that Rick has contacted the Hatch Act Unit in Washington and has requested an advisory ruling. The investigation for this ruling can take up to a few months to be complete. A decision has to be made on whether or not Rick is working on any projects currently funded by a Federal...
