Beach Fanatic
A SoWal controlled Arm of Law Enforcement truly scares me as well.
A professional police department with a properly selected (based on qualifications and not GOB politics.. non elected) professional Police Chief in charge of South Walton public safety sounds ideal to me. I guess that's too much to hope for. Some day.
You are right on point with this.
My concern is "contracting" with WCSO to police SoWal will allow Sheriff Mike to profit from the area.
The staffing is thin right now as it is.
A professional Police Department / Public Safety Division would be ACCOUNTABLE to someone.
An Elected Sheriff is only accountable every four years and around here the good ole' boys run the show, so there is no accountability.
Based on the posts in the All About SoWal forum, from Roskhub about the "Roshkub Riot on the Beach" and community organizing to disrupt private property, I'm about done with that group (Better South Walton) and their one sided agenda.
We simply doomed.
I've accepted that.
A peaceful walk on the beach is nothing other than bringing much needed awareness to what is happening to our beaches right now. We don't have to be incorporated to get involved as great locals have always done. Incorporation is a different matter entirely. It's what happens to fast growing towns anywhere in the country.The call to organize systematic Trespassing on Private Property is what did it for me.
True Agenda by a group that needs all the help and support it can get.
You don't do it like this, you haven't even Incorporated and you are alienating people with the Customary Use nonsense.
