Decriminalize non violent drug usage and you immediately free up cops to deal with real problems.

In reply to Jane. The answer is, no they will not. They are not allowed to respond to calls that are not within their jurisdiction. And all cops do not take the same training. FWC studies to police wildlife laws and other areas of the law that are related to wildlife, etc. They are not trained to do criminal police work or investigations. Most of the agencies mentioned are specialized and don't do municipal policing. So, your sense that you are surrounded by municipal law enforcement. Your comment about writing tickets while 'real criminals' drive on by is also trite and incorrect.

This town’s business model is to invite too many students to town, then ticket them with daddy’s credit card.

The new chief is a great hire, smart and very experienced. Give him a chance to deal with this, he will make good and much needed changes to TPD. Campbell is a fossil with a huge ego and less brains. LCSO has some very good deputies, but they are 20 years behind the times because Campbell is incompetent. We need to purge Campbell, Meggs and their protégés especially Jack Campbell and Meggs’ son. The LCSO is a cauldron of politics and “good ole boy” mentality with law enforcement being second or third in priority. TPD was considered professional but they have made bad hires and promoted worse leadership. Dennis Jones was a disaster, and now a culture of the wild west prevails. There will be no merger as Campbell so wants. The LCSO deserves a better deal than a “cowboy” like Campbell. The LCSO needs an outsider as TPD did. Politics and law enforcement are a dicey mix.

In reply to Watchdog.

Campbell called Meggs, Meggs called Maddox, and Maddox called Gabordi regarding that video to get the publicity stunt vendetta ball rolling in their latest attempt to stain TPD. They fool no one.

The public was on to them and their blatant attempt to stain TPD backfired and exposed their political motives which undermines the public safety in the community.

Campbell, Meggs, Maddox, and Gabordi are some of the biggest hindrances regarding the public safety in the community.

Hopefully the new chief will clean this cesspool up once and for all as he seems to be smarter than the four of them put together.

What you are all missing is the subliminal plan by Sherriff Campbell to take over all law enforcement in Leon County. TPD’s recent bad publicity only gives weight to what the Sheriff has been trying to politicize for years that the city police department is poorly trained and uncontrolled. Campbell now has his good friend and drinking buddy, Scott Maddox, back on the city commission who can help undermine TPD’s demise.

Why do you think that when the video hit of the drunk lady being physically restrained and falling on her face on the ground, that Maddox was the first politician to rush to judgement and call for the officers’ heads.

Pay attention, Tallahassee, you are about to have one leader of law enforcement, fire, ems all run by one elected official who picks and chooses what laws to enforce and who to assist based on the size of your campaign contribution. If you think he will be gone in 2 years, think again. He is grooming his successor, Mike Wood, to take over and continue his dictatorship.

Remember this post, for this will come to pass.
