Thank you for the response, I honestly did not know if this was slang for the above or an accronym. You seem to be honestly interested in what the community has to say and respond to questions in a very timely manner. So far a difference from most local politicos.

This is by far, the best statment, explaination and truth that has been told on this site or any other. One thing is for certain, Dennis Wise tells it like it is. This is no "agenda", just facts from someone who knows...;-)

Mr. Wise:
i have been reading these posts for a few days and based on what I have seen here, you stand out as the person most informed and involved in the process of election.
as others have bickered back and forth over others involved, I look at a few basic things: the knowledge of the area and its needs, the willingness to communicate and the ability to do so. I have heard a lot about this current sheriff and it is very obvious he needs to "go".
Recently, a great deal has been said about gangs in the area. I do not know a great deal about gangs but I will tell you that when it comes to them and their associates, the "wanna be's" are the most dangerous as they have the most to prove. i have family in a local area, not far from here, that ignored this issue and then a gang member from L.A. was shot and killed right across the street from the high school. Now, retaliation is feared.
I can understand that property owner, of which I am one, do not want to cause panic. However, a healthy dose of paranoia never killed anyone...
Chao.

Pete, I would agree with your statement about paranoia. In what local did this incident your refer to occur? Is this in Florida?

mr.wise, I think you should become more familiar with the laws you state you will enforce. State laws say you CANNOT require a deputy to reside within his jurisdiction. And to imply that simply because a person is a distant relation to a person who did a poor job in a political office in the past is just as bad, is poor judgement. Maybe you should take your "books" and go back down south where people can be misled easier.

When it comes to officers place of residence, there is a lot that can and should be done. For one thing, no County Owned Vehicles should be leaving the County to "go home" with an officer. These vehicles should remain in the county and this "encourages" officers to reside within the juristiction where they work, ie. more visible police presence in the area. This practice is very common with law enforcement. It is not forcing or requiring anyone to do anything but follow a department directive. This would also apply to vehilces (unmarked) that go home with employees that do not even live here in the State. I originally brought this up, looking for answers from the candidates, so neither Dennis or Rick started this idea, Dennis just responded. Are you currently up to speed on the vehicle situation here in Walton County?
As for the "distant" relation, to whom do you refer?
I also find it funny that you think D. Wise is trying to "mislead" people. He and Rick Brown are the only one's who are even attempting to tell the truth and to do the right thing.

Could provide a statutory citation for this statement? I have been unable to verify.

Exactly what laws was it that I stated I would enforce that you refer to? I never stated that I would require a deputy to reside within the county. Quote: "As far as deputies being hired who live outside the county or the state, this would have to be part of their hiring, but of course everyone who is now hired in these situations would have to be "grandfathered" in. My personal beliefs are that all deputies who work for the county should live in the county, but there again there is always the exception to the rule, and each will be dealt with on an individual basis." (See post #38). You are right, no one can force someone to live in the county they work for! Also note; no one is forced to hire someone they feel is not qualified.
I can assure you I have no intention of misleading anyone.
