The old law enforcement platform of I CAN DO MORE WITH LESS does'nt work any more.
State Goverment , County and City Councils need to provide more funding to increase the amount of officers thru out the state. Gangs are bad and it will take aggressive enforcement to control their increasing numbers and acts of violence.
- from the topic: Gang Violence In Anderson
You don't pay attention to the news. Only Honea Path and Anderson City have filled charges on the bad boy ROBBERS. No one from the Sheriffs office has made any arrestNow that all the arrested bad boys are safely tucked away in the County Jail, awaiting trial,for all the robberies,and shootings,I think we all know where Sheriff Crenshaw,and all of his law enforcement officers were while every one was trashing him,and them for not doing their jobs.Job well done,Sheriff,you and your men,Walk TALL,in my eyes.

I don't think Anderson County would allow the Law to be enforced as it should be. Citizens should be able to defend their families and property. The thieves and thugs who are taken to to jail should get swift justice. No favors for the crooks hiding behind politics, money ,or goverment positions. I don't think Anderson County is ready for the Marshall & Festus to ride in and deal out justice. To much politics.Marshalldillon08,
Ever think about running for sheriff?

What happened to the Sheriffs DRUG SQUAD that was number ONE in the nation since the June Primary? They were jerking up everyone before the election. Are they still there? These robbery gangs in Anderson County are becoming a serious problem which requires serious, aggressive law enforcement. You can't sit at the L@zY Isl@@der and expect your department to respect you and do their best for you.
Is he taking a break from covering-up or un-covering
Repub, glad you're back. We were running short of bald faced liars. You know that SLED never investigated the events that night atCater Gate. They investigated Joey and Tim Busha's concoted story of harassing letters and stalking. they did their usual politically tainted job abd scurried their butts back to Greenville and columbia. As to credit card spending, I almost shot milk out of my nose! You, above anyone else except your partner in economic development innovations, knows full well that those credit cards were mismanaged and the records mishandled.-plumbbob
OK no more rumers: THE ANDERSON POLICE OFFICERS THAT WERE ON THE SCENE OF THE CATOR GATE SCANDAL WERE NEVER QUESTIONED BY SLED...WHY?????Just remember Sled has a new boss. And Sled has seen some major shake ups in the past days.
No More White-Wash. The real investigators are in town
The excessive spending has been documented. The dating the hired help has been documented.
Remember CATOR GATE?
I think dating the hired help is one policy violation.
Excessive spending of credit cards,
Did I mention Dating the hired help
What ya think?
The talk about Anderson today is that the other part of the buyout includes the job security of the storm-water queen. Including a big raise. No other deals in the works as of now. The rest of the flock are going to be Own there Own
Rumer has it _____ this buy out is JP's escape plan and he will take a big chunk of cash with him (only him). He is leaving all his people to face the audit....
The comments posted on AMI"s report concerning the arrest of Judge Smith ask some interesting questions/
What did happen with the SLED investigation with Honea Path Magistate Billy Gilmer.He was never suspended like Smith was. Whats the difference between the Smith and Gilmer? Is it who you know or what. if you ask questions you will find Gilmer is a grandfathered-holdover magistrate.(also retired...drawing a magistrate retirement check) How long can you hold these jobs? How many others are Holdovers in Anderson Co? Where do you apply for these jobs?
Maybe magistrate appointments are like Supreme Court <FOR LIFE> No one ever gets to apply for these jobs or ever know when thy are Re-appointed. Lots of people would like a shot at the Good Money. A 22hr per week magistate with 10yrs on the job makes about $50,000 with his salary and expense acct. (and draw retirement)Check and see what the full time's make.
(ITS WHO YA KNOW)
The 4 year degree went into effect many years ago. It's why there are so many hold-over magistates. If they legally retire from office they lose the Grand-Father status and not qualify for re-appointment. Then they lose the big check for the hours they work. Part-time is suposed to be 22 hrs a week.(suposed).
Catching one in the office is a challange.Catching one that knows what their doing is a bigger challange.
You'r right sshm, the magistrate appointments are give to the one which can bring the most votes.
Qualified dosen't have anything to do with appointments. Its politics.(who you know)Check the status of the other magistates. A large number in the state are grand-fathered and Hold-Overs. No one else can get the job because they draw retirment and hold the magistate job too. Just look at the conduct of the magistates. A Greenville Co Magistrate placed on trespass warning today at a Up-State McDonalds,Judge Mike Smith on ADMIN LEAVE, Judge William Gilmer under INVESTIGATION for fileing a false police report.
Are these QUALIFED for the job
