Good People
We all know good people on the department, that is not a question, at least not with me. What is a question is why only one (Brown) has come out by name to file complaints and another is remaining unnamed. Many deputies talk about the wrong doings there, but no one takes action. Is the atmosphere of FEAR so stong there? I truly feel bad for the employees, but others need to step up and stand up, do the right thing.
Evil men/women succeed when good men/women do nothing.

Yeah but who is going to pay their pay checks. I am sure the person who chose not to put their name in the paper would love to come forward but fears that they would lose their job. You know the Sheriff can fire you for " any reason" So one screw up and your gone. Heck look at the two pregnant females he fired. They stated in the paper they had leave on the books and that they were told by their supervisors they were ok, and then they were let go under a new FMLA policy, when other officers had babies and came back to work ok. You all wonder and question why people wont come forward, look at the history of this department. I think its time for a new Sheriff, and thats why I am personally supporting Mike Adkinson. I have talked to him and a few of the guys he works for, and they sound very pleased. He is really professional,and has a good head on his shoulders. He has done a great job with the PD and he does not want to bring back the good ol boy system that is rumored around him. I think he would be a great change for our law enforcement community. You should check him out ! I also have read the words of Josh Sconiers who was running for Sheriff and seems very respectful. He dropped out to not mess up the votes. He is backing Mike as well, and after reading up on him, he seems to know alot and has a good faith background which we really need now in this office. I hope my insight helps. God bless you guys and gals in the department. May peace come to you soon.

Please make sure you research and find the truth about all the candidates before you vote. I would also encourage you to talk to the entire candidate list not just one. I agree I think it is time for a new sheriff but if you think Adkinson is not part of the good ole boy system you are sadly mistaken. He is the good ole boy system and he will continue with it including people he has working for him now at the PD , some of those have integrity issues. Adkinson has to?he gets his orders from others. How do you think he got the job he now has and got it with only 5 years experience as a police officer? Others were a lot more qualified at that time. Adkinson was brought back with the intention of him running in 2012 but decided to get into the mix a term early. Remember he told the people he wasn't going to run during his election for the chief's job also. I agree that Josh Sconiers is a good person and means well. But you have to also realize that his backing of Adkinson came at a time he was needing a job and was hired by Adkinson. Sounds like Adkinson may be abusing his position for an attempt at advancement. If you look at Josh?s decision making ability I think it will show you that he lacks experience and does not think things out before he makes his decision. He jumped in the sheriff?s race, quit his job and then dropped out of the race all in a few weeks. He knew who all was running when he got in and that spill about not messing up the votes had nothing to do with it. Josh is kind of in a situation like the deputies with the SO. If he didn?t support Adkinson (now his boss) do you honestly think he would have that job? I am sure that deal was worked out behind closed doors. Just hope you do your homework before you make your final decision about who to vote for in the sheriff?s race. We need a positive change not just a change!

And people ask why it is so hard to find someone to run for local political office. Booya, you need to go ahead and apply to the DeFuniak Underground for membership. You seem to know everything that is going on.
Booya,
I guess that you and I are just on different ends of the voting world. I have listen to the others and I think that Cooper did a good job the other night at the High School. He too worked under Quinn as to my understanding, so does that mean that he would bring back the "good ol boy" He has been out of law enforcement for years working at Sandestin security. Does this mean that he is not quip to run the deparment if he is elected? As I understand and have been personally told by Mr. Adkinson, the folks that work at the P.D. now worked there when he was elected chief. I am sure that some will come, and others will stay. That will be up to him. I personally think he has done a good job, and I think he will do a good job running this county. Change will not happen over night, but it needs to happen. I have not put down any other person running, except Wise and Macon, simply because they seemed lost the other night when they were on the stage. I wish whomever you are voting for the best of luck. Either way we need new leadership in our S.O.

Right on the money...
Sweet Gal,
I understand totally what your saying about needing a change in WCSO. So after talking to each candidate the past 2-3 months along with other deputies, I am going to vote for Marshal Adkinson this August. He's going to get my vote for these reasons....1) He's extremely qualified 2) He treats people and his employees very professionally 3) He's a family man and 4) Just look at the improvement he's done with the DFSPD. Oh also, I met Josh Sconiers at one of the Young Republican's meetings a while back when he was running for sheriff. This young man has got a great head on his shoulders and I respect his opinion and as person ever since that night, So if Josh is backing Marshal Adkinson then my family will also get his vote.

Very Informed
You are very informed and should be commended for keeping up with the ins and outs of our SO.
As I understand it, there was an "issue" with a complaint made and then the officer did not want to cooperate with the follow up. They were then appointed to Investigations... makes a lot of sense right? This is how people are promoted/demoted at the SO. No rhyme, no reason.
I am surprised that the two dispatchers are not captains by now. At least the one gets to drive the cool sports car.
