Senior Patriot, it was not necessary under Sheriff Campbell. He recognized he did not need an oversized command staff because he was a true leader. He made sure most of the budget went for new employees and for good raises for current employees. He wasn’t constantly adding command staff positions out of the air and creating non law enforcement positions like the current “sheriff” does. The agency is in the worst morale condition it has ever been.

Larry Campbell would not put up with this for one minute.

Remember Eastern Airlines?

Those employees won and got their Union, but the company went under as a result.

Perhaps If everyone who received a letter from Walt asking them not to unionize, would send back a reply asking for his resignation, for a no vote, this agency could be saved and the morale restored.

I think the rank-and-file have had enough at this agency and deserve better pay. They are reacting to seeing their raises going to McNeils cronies.

Unions are a money laundry for the Democratic Party which supports everything the Deputies are suffering from.
The real bad guy hurting the Deputies locally is the voters who keep Democrats in power.
Joining the union will hurt Deputies more and help them in just some ineffective psychological way. Dont do it.

“Walt” was against the union and wrote a letter to every deputy personally asking them to vote against it. Things are so command staff oriented and unfairly applied to the troops this is the first time in agency history a overwhelming desire for unionization was brought up. Creating a “wellness” position making twice a deputy salary when the patrol division is understaffed??? There are more people on command staff than on a patrol shift. That help you feel safe? Everyone used to complain about the “good ole boy” system. This one is much more corrupt.

Wally has completely destroyed a great agency. He has hired and promoted a complete bunch of morons. Is there a specific reason he needs 20+ command staff including 3 assistant sheriffs?
Is he so busy in the hot tub he won’t make the simplest decision?
The commission needs to do a complete audit.
There’s plenty of money for raises and new deputies if he hadn’t hired so many cronies at $120K+ a year.
He is the reason for the union and hates it.
His BS is now be in the light.

Hmmm… I have some defacement in front of my house that wasn’t previously there.

Thanks for protecting my property, Walt …Not!

Something tells me that Willie is not only a hater but bone dumb as well. Cops don’t live long after retirement because of all of the long term occupational hazards. Cops have been getting slaughtered for years, especially deputies. I was never in favor of unions, but the job has become so bad now that no one is applying nationwide. Defunding, political trials of cops for literally doing their jobs. Without a union, they have no legal defense or get access to same. Hey Willie, step up and sign up to pin that badge on big boy, doubt you have the stones or the work ethic.

Unfortunately… given the Campaign of Hate and Disdain waged against LEOs by the NaziCrats, Media PACs, and Treasonous Big Tech puppets of the CCP… I don’t blame these brave men and women for seeking any additional support and representation they can. If that means a Union, then so be it. Lord knows the weasel politicians won’t stand up for or by them… those cowards will take a knee, bow to the Hate Mob, and sellout our LEOs in a second.
