These two gentleman will tell every contract city or future contract city everything we want to hear. This includes the current Sheriff as well. I feel that Menifee needs it's own law enforcement,selected by community members and avoiding the entire contracting issue. The Sheriff is the largest agency in the county and eating up little cities one by one. Everytime they get a new contract, we hear about coruption, misconduct etc. a year or two later. This is sad but so true and Menifee is a small town and we need that small town atmoshphere. All the Sheriff will do is charge us more charge back monies for services, rotate different deputies through a cycle within Menifee and never have any repore or relationship with the community. Those deputies spend an average of one or two years at a station or special position and move on to another contracted city in the county. There is no real care or heart in it when a deputy is assigned to a contracted city. They will try to sale us on all thier great equipment, helicopters, K-9's, investigators, etc. Yeah, that's all great but really where is the true concern for the city itself. All those things are Material and a charge back to the city if used anyways for most of the time. We need to start off small, Murrieta did it, come on folks look at the big picture, we want to be our own to begin with, why not have everything be our own. From the Key to the City to the schools to the police department. We are just another pool of money waiting to be scooped up by the county. We would do fine starting off small, besides is'nt that the way we like it. Who wants to be going through what the City of Lake Elsinore, Temecula, Palm Desert, Jurupa, etc. who are just a few of the cities affected by the Sheriff take over and now are paying for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
