Now Hiring

I don't know, maybe it is just a Buchanan County, Missouri thing. It seems to me like every campaign season we hear about accusations of corruption and dirty tricks/stolen or damaged campaign signs when County Sheriff is one of the positions to be filled. It seems that we always have someone in the department that wants his/her bosses job. Then we hear about issues I feel should have been dealt with and resolved before the campaign began. Police pursuits have become a big issue in this area because one ended with an officers death and a suspect died in another.Brian Carter is challenging his boss in the up-coming election. "Brian Carter, a road patrol supervisor, pursued a man suspected of domestic violence in the county on March 19. During the course of a winding pursuit, both Mr. Carter’s police cruiser and a civilian vehicle were damaged." (Continue Reading) To be honest I don't remember hearing much about the pursuit Mr. Carter was involved in. If he violated department policy he should have been punished. The Sheriff should have made sure the proper action was taken. I don't know that Mr. Carter should get the job but I am sure Buchanan County is in need of a new Sheriff.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
