Interestingly, dissolving our county PD and turning all county law enforcement to our Sheriff is on the ballot in November.

While our county PD has become dis-functional, our city police have been working to implement a community policing approach over the past 5 years, and we have seen crime drop 35% a year over the past 3 years - while our overall "metro" area (Glynn, Brantley & McIntosh Counties) have seen an overall increase in crime.

I think a lot of issues could be made better by police, and the command structure, recognizing that they are fallible.
SO y'all have a county police department, and a sheriff's department? What is the sheriff's department for if not the law enforcement in the county?
