cannot be used to pay salaries, but can be paid for the maintenance of

the helicopter.

Mr. Robinson complains that

the sheriff asked for more traffic officers and if they would stay out

of Peachtree City and Fayetteville, he would not need them. Not true.

I'd be surprised if more than a couple hundred tickets were written in

Peachtree City and Fayetteville. By the way, Georgia law requires the

sheriff to keep his office in the county seat. Does Mr. Robinson want

the sheriff to break the law too?

Just so everyone knows, the

sheriff provides more than traffic services to all of these cities. He

serves warrants, runs the jail, serves civil papers for these cities and

helps the cities with everything they ask for. Hey, by the way, the sheriff's

department is the only law enforcement for Brooks, Woolsey and the rest

of incorporated Fayette County. Mr. Robinson, unless you know what you

are talking about and learn all that the sheriff's department does, just

be content with not liking the sheriff's department and save us your knee-jerk

commentary.

Think of it this way there

is the city of Fayetteville Police Department, city of Peachtree City

Police Department, the city of Tyrone Police Department and the Fayette

County Sheriff's Deparment. The cities worry about their city. The sheriff

worries about the whole county, which includes these cities.

One last thought, a person

I very much respect said that we should ignore "nay sayers"

because all they want is to moan and groan. I say that sometimes you just

can't just let someone get away with something. Here's to you, Larry Robinson.

You might not like the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, but they will

protect and serve you anyway.
