WCSO does not work any accidents with ANY Injuries or significance damage. This is a change in policy when the new sheriff took over and the traffic team was split to all over the county and not just on 98 as what they were put in place for. In most every county in Florida there is more than one trooper assigned to that county at a time but in Walton there is only 1 trooper and when WCSO calls for a trooper to work a accident they almost always haft to pull one from Crestview or FWB. They are VERY short staffed I think the last time I looked they were around 300 openings for the FHP as most leave and go to work for counties as they pay A LOT more that the state. The cities are required by law to work accidents within their city limits and if a SO provides the law enforcement within the city limits they are required to work them unless it taxes them then they can call for help from FHP. In the county the FHP is required to work the accidents from what I understand.
